For our time of study in, in the word this morning, I want to invite you to turn in your Bibles to the book of Ezra. Ezra, and yes, there is a book called Ezra in your Bible. if you can find the Psalms, just go to about halfway point in your Bible and find the Psalms and then And then about 4 books in front of that like Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms. So find Psalms and then start working your way backwards.
And you'll come to Ezra. And Ezra chapter 7, which you'll find right in between situated in between 6 chapter 6 and chapter 8. So find 8 and then work backwards to 7. we're going to next week be getting into, back into our study of First Timothy and we'll be hitting 1 Timothy chapter 5, verse 3, and following, but today I've got New Year's on my brain, so I want to talk to you, just have a meditation this morning on that topic, and if you want a title to the message, it would be some resolutions for 2010.
Some resolutions for 2010. I'm going to submit to you three resolutions that I could very heavily commend to you for your consideration this morning. I think probably most of us are like this. I know for me there's something really neat about reaching the end of an old year and standing on the threshold of a new year.
You look back at the previous year and yes there are many moments of God's faithfulness and you can cherish those. and give thanks to him for those things. But also as you look back over the previous year, it's full of a multitude of failures and sins, right? It's a stained year, as it were....
