A Simple Resolution

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
(Matthew 5:16)

So many resolutions that never make it past the first few weeks of the new year. Here is a simple one for believers . . . God first! Let everything we do honor God and bring Him glory.

To do that, we need to be peculiar. (1 Peter 2:9) We need to stand out. We need to be extra-ordinary. We cannot tolerate the things of the world nor allow the world to censure us.

If we do indeed have Jesus within us then we need to reflect that light. It's not our light, but HIS. . . His will not ours . . . His applause, not man's.

A simple resolution . . . God first!
