If you didn’t make any resolutions this year or if you have already broken them - these are some real ones from King Solomon to pin on your wall or desktop:

1. Trust the Lord with all your Heart.
2. Put God first in your life.

There is a promise with this - He will then direct your paths and crown your efforts with success. Ask Him how to do this, what He wants and He will show you - you may be very surprised.

3. Value loyalty and kindness.

Be loyal, be kind, and stand with those that are loyal and kind to you. Friends and spouses who aren’t loyal and kind are not worth having.

4. Let love and faithfulness never leave you.

Definition of Love: NOT that glance across a crowded room, many confuse with lust. God designed desire, there is everything right about romantic love between spouses. But whether between family members, friends, or spouses, LOVE is caring as much, or more, for someone else’s well being as your own. – The challenge for Christians is to care for even strangers or enemies with that kind of love. The best example is a man hanging on a cross, with nails in his hands and feet.

Definition of Faithfulness: keeping faith; maintaining allegiance; constant; loyal, faithful friends, showing a strong sense of duty or responsibility; being conscientious, accurate; reliable.

Want to be loving and faithful? Value those around you that are loving and faithful - don’t lose friends and loved ones, through neglect, nurture relationships. If you don’t water that plant on your desk it will die - if you don’t pay attention to that relationship - you will lose it. If you sow neglect you will reap neglect. If you sow disdain and scorn, you will reap them. If you sow/show love and caring, you will receive back love and caring.

5. Don’t be conceited or a ‘know it all’, wise in your own eyes. Be a better listener.
6. Search for Wisdom.

Some confuse wisdom and knowledge. Knowledge is gaining information and facts, wisdom is knowing and doing right and - common sense. It sometimes takes wisdom to check you have the right source of knowledge.

7. Preserve sound judgement and discernment.

In other words, take care of your own mental and physical health. Don’t neglect yourself. Don’t do things that you KNOW are bad for you! The Bible says nothing about smoking or vaping. They didn’t exist in biblical times, so it doesn’t say that you shouldn’t but YOU KNOW IT IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH! Jesus himself turned water into Wine and drank alcohol but did he get DRUNK? Do not allow the spirit of alcohol to control you! Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, don’t put anything into it He wouldn’t like.
