This Morning I was listening to one of my favorite radio shows "Revive our hearts" with Nancy Leigh Demoss. She was talking about the focus of our hearts. How when we give into complaints and business we are unproductive and overwhelmed with the things of the world. What a great reminder for us to go into this New year focusing on the most important thing. Jesus Christ and the Cross. Nothing less.
This is the daily devo from today from Revive our hearts website. I thought It was brilliant and all about Purity of the Heart.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss: It’s the season for making New Year’s resolutions. Listen to one of Jonathan Edwards’ resolutions.
“Resolved, never to give over, nor in the least to slacken in my fight with my corruptions, however unsuccessful I may be.”
Nancy: While we’re thinking about resolutions for better diet and exercise, Edwards’
]resolution may seem a little quaint. He was resolving never to give up in the fight against sin. And that’s an important resolution!
He knew there were temptations in his life that had a stronger grip than others. I’m the same way. There are sins I’ve struggled with for years. Edwards refused to get used to those besetting sins. He was resolved to wage relentless warfare against sin by the power of God’s Spirit.
Why not consider making that your resolution this year?
With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
great resolution. i want that to be mine.
