may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to
testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts:20:24
As 2015 draws to a close, inevitably people
begin talking about New Years resolutions.
Resolutions are funny things, because they are
generally dictated by negative trends in our
lives we want to attempt to correct.
We resolve to lose weight because we gained
weight. We resolve to become more organized
because, quite frankly, we have become less
organized. We resolve to find a new job
because we cannot see the joy in the one we
have. In a million different ways we try to use
this time year to create a positive outcome out
of our negative actions.
1 Corinthians 2:2
"For I resolved to know nothing among you
except Jesus Christ and him crucified."
What do I need?
How is my joy?
What needs to change?
continued...
"And Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you
sons of Levi: is it too small a thing for you
that the God of Israel has separated you
from the congregation of Israel, to bring you
near to himself, to do service in the
tabernacle of the LORD and to stand before
the congregation to minister to them".
In Christ, God separated you and called you
near. God did a great thing on your behalf,
not a small thing, and our response is to live
constantly between the place "Thanks" and
"Praise" where a deep sense of gratitude
rests.
You can resolve to do a million things this
next year. All good. All with positive benefits,
but only one thing will be eternally life
changing: resolving to know Jesus Christ.
Blessings and see you in a year!
