We all chuckle at not keeping New Year’s Resolutions but as you’ll see from some of these, a lack of self-control can really hurt you.
Here’s a look at someone’s New Year’s resolutions down through the years.
RESOLUTION #1:
2007: I will read at least 20 good books a year.
2008: I will read at least 10 books a year.
2009: I will read 5 books a year.
2010: I will finish The Pelican Brief
2011: I will read some articles in the newspaper this year.
“I said to the man who stood at the gate of the Year "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown."
And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way."
Don't be content with the temporary emotion that comes with the hearing of God's promises. Invest yourself in trusting in God's word.

“Sin is the dare of God’s justice, the rape of his mercy, the jeer of his patience, and the contempt of his love.”
