"But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness." 1 Timothy 6:11
So, now it is 2008. Some of you are going to graduate this year and I am so sad about that. But as we always do, we can use this time to think about ways we want to see our lives improve spiritually. Pray about it, do you need to stop losing your temper, respect your parents, spend more time with Christian friends, make a commitment to do your devotions? What do you want to see happen this year.
It is a good resolution to get rid of the things in your life that bring you down, be it friends, music, or parties. But raise your expectations, and focus on how you want to be used by the Lord this year. If you merely stay where you are at spiritually, you are not growing closer to the Lord. Build yourself up in the word of God and then ask God to use you. What can you do this year or even this week that will bless the Lord? Can you pass out a Bible tract, pray for someone, volunteer at church, share with a nonbeliever, pray for a missionary, help someone in need in the name of Christ? Pray and ask God to bring you an opportunity.
