Here's a New Year Resolution: Before you get up = Count your blessings before you think of all the things that are wrong. One of your blessings is Jesus Christ who died that you may live forever.

For Further Reflection

When has God's word come to you through an unexpected person or situation?

Isaiah 40:1–11, Psalm 85:1–2, 8–13, 2 Peter 3:8–15a

For further reflection

Think of a time when you felt hopeless. What/who helped you find hope again?

Readings

Psalm 80:1–7, 17–19, 1 Corinthians 1:3–9, Isaiah 64:1–9

FOR FURTHER STUDY

What talents do you have that you are NOT using to their best advantage?

Suppose you were given $10 to use for a short time and you knew you would have to return it, what would you do with it. What do you think the result would be? Would you just return the $10 and keep the profit? Why?

Extra Scripture:

     Judges 4:1-7

     Psalm 123

     1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
