New Year's Resolutions

Yup.  It's time. 

So here are a few suggestions.

Just in case you're having trouble deciding how you could improve yourself in 2013... 

Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, 

do good to those that hate you, 

and pray for those who spitefully use you.

Have fellowship with Him.

and apply your heart to My knowledge.

and in His law meditate day and night.

love mercy,

and walk humbly with your God.

And to give you courage, in case any of those seem hard, here's a New Year's Promise for you:

"Fear not: for I have redeemed you,

I have called you by your name

You are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, 

you shall not be burned;

nor shall the flame scorch you."

Isaiah 43:1-2

Because after all:

"Thus far the Lord has helped us."

1 Samuel 7:12
