“Following Jesus and Loving People”
Have you made your new year’s resolutions yet?
The new year is a time full of hope. Often, this hope is borne of failed hopes from the past year.
May I offer a plan for HOPE in 2015?
Hear from God – Make seeking God’s guidance your first priority. Be in church every Sunday and attend mid-week. Spend time with Christian friends. When you read your Bible and pray, listen for the Holy Spirit. Avoid situations that drown out God’s voice: questionable movies, TV shows, books, magazines, and company. In 2015, concentrate on “turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding.” (Proverbs 2:2)
Open your Bible – Make an effort to spend more time in God’s Word. There are many resources available (like OneYearBibleOnline.com/) for reading the Bible in a year. On BibleGateway.com, you can stream audio of the Bible in several translations while you’re working, working out, or commuting. Set a time to read the Bible with your family. Stick to it! “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night.” (Joshua 1:8)
Pray without ceasing (I Thessalonians 5:17) – Recognize that you are always in God’s presence, and maintain a constant attitude of prayer. When your mind is idle or starts to wander, fill it with words of praise or intercession. When you wake up in the night, or when you can’t sleep, talk with God. Ask God to wake you up to pray. Make a daily prayer appointment.
Engage in God’s work – Look for opportunities to be used by God in church ministry, at school or on the job, and with your family and friends. Don’t sit on the sidelines. God needs more than our tithes and prayers. You can be the answer to prayers for God to send laborers! When the call goes out, answer with the words and enthusiasm of Isaiah, “Here am I! Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)
“The one who does these things will never be shaken.” (Psalm 15:5)
Happy New Year!
