“You will never be sorry — for thinking before acting, for hearing before
judging, for forgiving your enemies, for being candid and frank, for helping
a fallen brother, for being honest in business, for thinking before speak-
ing, for being loyal to God and the church, for standing by your principles,
for refusing to participate in gossip, for holding your words when tempted
to demean another, for not entertaining impure or hateful thoughts, for
sympathizing with the afflicted, for being courteous and kind to all.”

But there's one resolution every single one of us should make, and carry
out!! And that's to determine to live closer to the Lord and to His
truth! There's no greater resolution than that! Regardless of our plans, our
highest priority should be to put Christ first in everything, and, with His
help, make every adjustment to live in accordance with His will in all
things. Nothing is more important; in fact, everything else pales into insig-
nificance!
Yes, there are many things that must be done and taken care of. There are
many things necessary for our health and happiness. There are many things
that wrestle for our attention, and are important to everyday living.
But nothing else matters if we don't have a connection with the Saviour and
His truth! Whatever our work, plans, and hopes are, they are totally useless
without the endorsement of the Lord! Note what the wise man, Jeremiah,
once wrote: "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His
compassions fail not. They are new every morning....Great is Your faithful-
ness."(Lam. 3:22,23) Did you notice that it's because of God's great compas-
sion we are still here! And His compassions are new every morning! No
wonder His faithfulness is great!
In this new year let's make sure we put first things first! God is faithful be-
cause of His compassion! Yours for allowing His compassion to continually
mold us, even remold us, Pastor and Sharon Webb
