January 2007

1. In 2007, take a firm stand for things that are right and keep your standards beyond reproach. Romans 12:1 & 2:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 2. When you write your list of goals or resolutions for this “New Year” put
“seek God’s Kingdom” at the top. Matthew 6:33:
But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall
be added unto you.

3. No act of kindness shown to others is insignificant in God’s eyes.             Matthew 6:4:
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall
reward thee openly.

4. This year appreciate the importance of both laughter and tears! Luke 6:21b:  Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

5. Prayers can’t be answered unless they are prayed…so start praying now! Psalm 66:19:
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

6. Want to make a difference in someone’s life? – Then develop a heart of compassion! Jude vs. 22: And some have compassion, making a difference.

7. In 2007 learn contentment!
Philippians 4:11: Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
