i got a chance to start off the New Year at a new church and there were a set of questions that the pastor got from Donald Whitney a Professor of Biblical Spirituality at The Souther Baptist Theological Seminary that we should ask ourselves at the start of this new year.

It was a humbling and challenging time to just sit and think about these questions, but I do hope that I will be able to answer these questions truthfully, and diligently pursue after the answers that i give:

1. What’s one thing you could do this year to increase your enjoyment of God?

2. What’s the most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year?

3. What’s the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your family life this year?

4. In which spiritual discipline do you most want to make progress this year, and what will you do about it?

5. What is the single biggest time-waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?

6. What is the most helpful new way you could strengthen your church?

7. For whose salvation will you pray most fervently this year?

8. What’s the most important way you will, by God’s grace, try to make this year different from last year?

9. What one thing could you do to improve your prayer life this year?

10. What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter most in ten years? In Eternity?

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION:
Trust God in all things that I do, have, look forward to.
