Grace for your spirit
As the time approached for Him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. Luke 9:51
There is a hymn we sing entitled "I Am Resolved." It says "I am resolved no longer to linger charmed by the world's delight. Things that are higher, things that are nobler, these have allured my sight." This is exactly the example set for us by Jesus. He came into this world to guide us, die for us, and ascend back to intercede for us. Nothing in this world allured Him to turn to the left or right. The prodigal son was charmed by the world's delight, but finally came to his senses. When he did, he set his face resolutely to return home. It is important for us to set our goals, and make our decisions to meet those goals. Let's be resolved to set our face toward total will of the Lord in our lives. The world will continue to charm us, but don't go there. That will be the best New Year's resolution ever.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
