Thought For Today – December 30
New Year's Resolutions!
“Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor siteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is
in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he mediate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the river of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalm 1: 1,2,3.
If we truly covert God's blessing
on our lives for the coming year, we ought not walk in the counsel
of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat
of the scornful. If we would have God's blessing on our lives we
must delight ourselves in the law of the Lord and meditate therein
day and night.
Our new year's resolution ought to
be – beginning new and fresh today to humble ourselves before God
our creator and redeemer, accept the cleansing of his blood for
forgiveness of our sins, and go forth to let him live his life
through us for his glory and honor. Seek and accept his grace and
wisdom so that we are able to know the difference between godliness
and ungodliness. Study to know the difference between God's ways and
man's ways. Shun man's ways, and the world's ways of thinking and
doing things, and go God's way. Accept as the only absolute truth
the word of God, both the written word and the living Word, and the
witness of the Holy Spirit.
When we delight in the law of God,
and meditate in his laws day and night we agree with God in what he
says and does through his word. It means that we allow the light
of God's truth to shine on us and reveal to us our own short
comings, and reveal to us God's glory, judge ourselves accordingly
and correct the things that we can correct and improve, but leave to
God's grace and mercy the things that only God can change.
Our desire for the coming new year
ought to be that we have our roots so deep in God that no storm of
life can tear us from our foundation. Our desire ought to be that
our roots are connected to the source of an infinite supply of
wisdom, understanding, and peace, and love, and life. If this is so
there will be no question of our lifestyle, our eternity, or our
prosperity. Our leaf shall prosper, and we will bring forth fruit.
We will grow a little taller spiritually. We will be closer to God,
and closer to home at the end of this new year if God chooses to
preserve us on planet earth for another year.
