This new year, make your life count for Christ

Ten years make a decade. We will do well to have about seven of those.

"Verse 10 of Psalm 90 says that our current earthly lives are zipping by. Our years are 'soon cut off and we fly away.' But God is from 'everlasting to everlasting,' our 'dwelling place in all generations.'(D. Jeremiah)."

We should make a fresh start of this new year and get off on the right foot. "Starting the new year without Christ is like jumping into a dark, unknown patch of the future."(D. Jeremiah). But with our Lord, we can take a more secure step towards fulfilling our God-given purpose.

Here's another thought to consider. Begin thinking and looking at things from an eternal perspective. Turn your attention to the importance of each day--each year--each decade, and to make your lives count for Christ.

Is God calling you to lead?

The call to leadership is a consistent pattern in the Bible. Every time God desired to do something great, He called a leader to step forward. Today He still calls leaders to step forward for every work-both large and small. The question remains, what is God calling you to do? As this new year begins search your heart and utilize your talents to do something great. Take initiative and don't hesitate to be a leader for Christ.

Just another thought to consider.
