Two lifetime resolutions that guarantees your earthly and eternal wellbeing.

Two lifetime resolutions that guarantees your earthly and eternal wellbeing.

Psalms  48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

1. Make God your God for ever.

2. Let Him alone through His Holy Spirit be your guide all through your life on earth.

Why should these be so?

1. God is your Father.

John  20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

2. He is your creator.

Isaiah  43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.  43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

3. He is sufficient for you.

Genesis  17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.  He is the Almighty, the absolute, your sufficiency.

2 Corinthians  3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

2 Corinthians  9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

4. You will dwell with Him for ever.

Revelation  21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.  21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5. He will strengthen you all through life.

Isaiah  40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.  40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.  40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:  40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Why should He guide you?

Psalms  48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

1. He teaches to profit 

Isaiah  48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.  48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

2. He promised to guide you if you want  Him

Psalms  32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

3. He will ensure you don’t stumble.

Isaiah  42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.  42:19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?  42:20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

Make these two resolutions and your earthly and eternal wellbeing will be guaranteed.

Psalms  48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

Let us pray.
