We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Where I found truth, there found I my God, who is the truth itself.
Augustine

Before making any resolution: 1. Consider the Scriptures carefully. Some matters for the Christian are clearly commanded or forbidden in the Bible… Other matters are not so clearly or specifically commanded or forbidden… It is in these areas where it is often profitable to make a specific personal resolution. 2. Consider your other necessary duties. As Christians, we have a number of pre-existing responsibilities that must take precedence over personal resolutions… Before making any personal resolution, ask yourself how it will affect other essential things (that God has commanded of you). 3. Consider how your family, your church, and the reputation of Christ in a watching world will be affected, either by your faithfulness, or by your failure to follow through (Luke 14:28-30). 4. (Consider) your motives… a. Is it truly my goal in making this resolution to glorify God through obedience and self-discipline and to receive the praise that comes only from Him? Or am I trying to gain the approval and admiration of people? (cf. Luke 6:26; 1 Cor. 4:3-5). b. Am I trying to appease my conscience by doing well in this one area in order to distract myself from conviction of another sinful behavior? (cf. Matthew 15:1-6). c. Am I acting defensively, angrily, or in prideful response to criticism from another person? In other words, do I have a sort of “I’ll show them” motive for making this resolution? (cf. Phil. 2:3). 5. Consider the cost. We don’t generally need to resolve to do the easy things. The difficulty, discomfort, self-denial, and even sometimes persecution involved in the Christian’s pursuit of holiness are the very aspects that make personal resolution necessary. Consider these carefully, weighing them opposite the rewards. Then determine that by God’s strength you will endure, understanding the price you must pay, and knowing that what you are doing is good and right.

PS 61:1 [] <<Εις τον πρωτον μουσικον, επι Νεγινωθ. Ψαλμος του Δαβιδ.>> Εισακουσον, Θεε, της κραυγης μου· προσεξον εις την προσευχην μου.

PS 61:2 Απο των περατων της γης προς σε θελω κραζει, οταν λιποθυμη η καρδια μου. Οδηγησον με εις την πετραν, ητις ειναι παραπολυ υψηλη δι’ εμε.

PS 61:3 Διοτι συ εγεινες καταφυγη μου, πυργος ισχυρος εμπροσθεν του εχθρου.

PS 61:4 Εν τη σκηνη σου θελω παροικει διαπαντος· θελω καταφυγει υπο την σκεπην των πτερυγων σου. Διαψαλμα.

PS 61:5 [] Διοτι συ, Θεε, εισηκουσας των ευχων μου· εδωκας μοι την κληρονομιαν των φοβουμενων το ονομα σου.

PS 61:6 Θελεις προσθεσει ημερας εις τας ημερας του βασιλεως· τα ετη αυτου ας ηναι εις γενεαν και γενεαν.

PS 61:7 Θελει διαμενει εις τον αιωνα ενωπιον του Θεου· καμε να διαφυλαττωσιν αυτον το ελεος και η αληθεια.

PS 61:8 Ουτω θελω ψαλμωδει διαπαντος το ονομα σου, δια να εκπληρω τας ευχας μου καθ’ ημεραν.
