We all hear the word "resolution" tossed around quite a bit this time ofyear. Do you make a list of resolutions? Better yet, do you keep yourresolutions? Webster's Dictionary defines "resolution" as the act ofdetermining. I believe this principle originated in the Bible.
Are you "determined" to live your life for His Glory?
Are you "determined" to be the best in every facet of your life, for Him?
"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God inChrist Jesus..." Phil 3:14
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,a workerwho has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."Tim 2:15
Are you striving to make the best use of your time on earth?
"We then, as workers together with Him, also plead with you not toreceive the grace of God in vain. For He says: `In an acceptable time Ihave heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.'Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."2Col 6:1-2
Have a great 2014!
In His Name,
