Resolution

I open my eyes to a whole new year
a new way and a new day
one with more challenge, and less fear
wherein I have more say

I shall set one foot in front of the other
make a new trail
and take new chances, not hide in safe cover
for I will not fail

It is up to me to find the way for me
seek a road to a better life
be it even upon some far distant sea
build joy amid the strife

a truly honest Conservative life my goal
with my God as guide
my country’s future free of liberal toll
and evil no place to hide

Don’t Waste Your Breath
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. —Psalm 150:6

If I were to scoop up a handful of dirt and blow into it, all I would get is a dirty face. When God did it, He got a living, breathing human being capable of thinking, feeling, dreaming, loving, reproducing, and living forever.

As one of these human beings, I speak of “catching” my breath, “holding” my breath, or “saving” my breath, but these are idioms of language. I cannot save my breath for use at a later time. If I don’t use the one I have now, I’ll lose it, and I may even lose consciousness.

When God breathed into Adam, He gave more than life; He gave a reason to live: Worship! As the psalmist said, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Ps. 150:6).

This means that we waste our breath when we use it for something that doesn’t honor the One in whom “we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).

Although we cannot blow life into a handful of dirt, we can use our breath to speak words of comfort, to sing songs of praise, and to run to help the sick and oppressed. When we use our breath to honor our Creator with our unique combination of talents, abilities, and opportunities, we will never be wasting it.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do. —Hatch

All that I am and have I owe to Jesus.


Bible in One Year: Genesis 4–6; Proverbs 1:8-19
