So here is a peom that was in my church bulleten last week. I thought it was really good.
A New Year's Resolution
I will, like Paul, forget those things which are behind and press forward.
I will, like David, lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence comes my help.
I will, like Abraham, trust implicitly in my God.
I will, like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my Heavenly Father.
I will, like Jehoshaphat, preparemy heart to seek God.
I will, like Daniel, commune with God at all times.
I will, like Job, be patient under all circumstances.
I will, like Joseph, turn my back to all seductive advances.
I will, like Gideon, advance even though my friends be few.
I will, like Aaron and Hur, hold up the hands of my spiritaul leaders.
I will, like Isaiah, consecrate myself to do God's work.
I will, like Andrew, strive to lead my brother into a closer walk with Christ.
I will, like John, lean upon the bosom of the of the Master and imbibe of His Spirit.
I will, like Stephen, manifest a forgiving spirit toward all who seek my hurt.
I will, like Timothy, study the Word of God.
I will, like the heavenly host, proclaim the message of peace on earth.
I will, like Caleb and Joshua, refuse to be discouraged because of superior numbers.
I will, like Moses, choose rather to suffer than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season.
And I will, like my Lord Himself, overcome all earthly allurement by refusing to succumb to its enticements.
Realizing that I cannot hope achieve these objectives by my own strength, I will rely upon Christ, for "I CAN do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
