Several people that I find myself reading every day have blogged their New Years resolutions, comments, etc. Before I even started, I wanted to give them a link. I am sure that everyone is aware (and reads daily) some of these, but just in case…
Think Christian posted Jonathan Edward’s resolutions. These resolutions are well worth a read and provide us with solid wisdom for our own resolutions.
As for me, I am going to diligently work on achieving the following five “goals” this year.
- Read the Bible with joy
- Pray more — converse directly with God about anything and everything
- Spend more quiet time with God, studying His word and applying His word
- Prioritize my wife and my children above my job (this is difficult to do quite often)
- Lose weight — exercise more often (let’s be clear… once a week would be more often) and eat better
Yep, I took the stereotypical direction for the last two. However, in my life, those are two things I really need to work on. Scripture has been nagging at me around making sure that I am taking care of my family first (#4) and that my body is a temple and is meant to be sacrificially given to the Lord (#5). I need to get this “temple” into better shape.
