Walking in Faith » 2007 resolutions http://blog.worthen.org For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

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.

  1. Read the Bible with joy
  2. Pray more — converse directly with God about anything and everything
  3. Spend more quiet time with God, studying His word and applying His word
  4. Prioritize my wife and my children above my job (this is difficult to do quite often)
  5. 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. :-)
