The New year is before us and several will be setting their New Year’s Resolutions.  I would like to suggest only 3.

Spend more time in awe of Jesus.  Daily meditate on who He is and what He has done for you.  Thrive on His word, in prayer, and worship individually and as the body of Christ….What more do we need?

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. ~ 2 Cor 5:21 ESV

Love like He did. Find ways to love those around you.  Sacrifice for your brothers and sisters in Christ.  Let needs of others not go unmet this year.

16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers ~ 1 John 3:16 ESV

Be content whatever the earthly result.  Don’t look to your circumstances to find contentment but look to Jesus and trust in Him.

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
