Art by Sophie The Christmas Princess Al's Cafe 1st Bible Lesson It is written; Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. The Orginal Greek word "framed " is καταρτίζω meaning prepare; God prepared those words Let there be light, before Jesus spoke them. John 1:3 A ll things were made by him[Jesus]; and without him was not any thing made that was made. The word prepare was used in 1 Samuel 7:3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
The original Hebrew word "prepare" is לְהָכִין (leh-hah-KHEEN) meaning (establish, fix); In order for your 2021 New Years Resolution to stick and not fade away is for you to prepare yourself today. Establish in your heart, Fix it permanently in your heart so when opposition comes your way, you flick it away like a fly.
And in closing, Prepare your hearts unto the Lord, he wants the best for you. He really is the only one that will and I emphasize WILL deliver you from the sin that is hindering your success of your resolution.
And Let's be real clear, We, WE all sin. We all need help. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Only one person has never sinned on this earth. Jesus ! 1 John 3:5 You know that He[Jesus] appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
And lets face it. A New Years Resolution really means "I'm sinning and I need help!" I love standing on the promises of God! He Delivers Every Single Time!
