New Year Resolutions, with a Difference

Finally have sometime to sit down and blog, just before I book in tomorrow.
New year resolutions... Gain weight, get fitter, grow in God, disciple new sheep, be CL, UL... Yes, they are things that I hope to achieve this year. Everyone has things that they want to do for a new year, that it has become so passe and routine...

Rather than just making resolutions, I want to make resolutions pertaining to the Word of God, I will list down verses that I want to claim personally.

1) Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
This verse has been on my laptop background for many months already. I want to claim it, that I will be a city on a hill that cannot be hidden, a positive influence to those around me, to bring Christ's light to them.

2) Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
God is the supplier of all my needs, my rock, fortress and my strength. Jesus, you are more than enough for me.

3) Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
When God is in the centre, worry has no place. God you are omnipotent, fears shall no longer seize me, for You are with me.

4) Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
5) Zechariah 4:6b 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
I don't want to depend on my own might and intellect. Lord I asked to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to do your will. Holy Spirit, overflow in me. God, I ask for Your annointing, Your wisdom, Your strength, Your divine authority & empowerment.

This is my prayer, I want to claim Your Word in my life. Amen.
