In The Word

3. Resolved, if ever I shall fall and grow dull, so as to neglect to keep any part of these Resolutions, to repent of all I can remember, when I come to myself again.

2. Resolved, to be continually endeavoring to find out some new invention and contrivance to promote the aforementioned things.

As you may or may not have noticed I’ve been taking a bit of a hiatus from posting to my blog. I’m trying to focus in on my family life and personal devotion time and have a hard time justifying time spent blogging. This isn’t to say I’m giving up, just working on getting my life balance into check. In the mean time, I’m going to post a “resolution a day” from The Resolutions Jonathan Edwards.  

_____________________________

Being sensible that I am unable to do anything without God’s help, I do humbly entreat him by his grace to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ’s sake.

Remember to read over these Resolutions once a week.

1. Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God’s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad’s of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great soever.
