A crisp New Year, like crisp new money.
How will I spend it?
Frivolously....... Giving no regard to where my time,
talents or money is spent?
Will I be miserly and spend this year hoarding for my needs
and wants?
Will I be a good steward of this new year and spend my time,
energy and money seeking God's kingdom and His righteousness?
Will I spend my time and emotional energy in bitterness
toward others or will I practice forgiveness as God grants me the grace to do
so?
Will I complain about my lot in life or accept; come what
may, from my Heavenly Father's hand?
Will I be quick to judge what I don't like or do not
understand rather than wait to discover how God wants me to respond?
Will I be inconsiderate and think of only my feelings or put
the feelings of others ahead of my own?
Will I be unkind to those around me or will I take every
opportunity to comfort, to encourage and lighten a load for those with whom I
travel this road?
Will I boast about my work and all the wonderful things I
might do or will I do my best whether there is anyone to see it or not?
Will I live this year in service to my God and King, not
seeking riches but His Kingdom?
Will I empty myself for Jesus Christ and not try to fulfill
my needs and wants with idols made by this present world?
WILL I?
"And he who does
not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life
shall lose it, and he who loses his life, for my sake, will find it." Matthew 10:38,39 (NKJV)
