How to Face the New Year

Face it with an open Bible.

Face it with confidence in Jesus Christ, your Friend and Savior.

Face it with your heart right with God.

Face it with a resolution to do much personal work for the salvation of souls. 

Face it with cheerfulness of heart and a smiling face. 

Face it singing “Absent from the body, present with the Lord.”  Face it lifting up Jesus Christ before men willing to save.

Recipe for a Happy New Year

I Will:

Like Paul – forget those things which are behind and press forward.

Like David – lifte up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help.

Like Abraham – trust implicitly in my God.

Like Enoch – walk in daily fellowship with my Heavenly Father.

Like Jehosaphat – prepare my heart to seek the Lord.

Like Moses – choose rather to suffer than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

Like Daniel – commune with God at all times and in all places.

Like Job – be patient under all circumstances.

Like Caleb & Joshua – refuse to be discouraged because of superior numbers.

Like Joseph – turn my back on all seductive advances.

Like Gideon – advance, even though my friends are few.

Like Aaron and Hur – uphold the hands of my minister and the leaders of the church with my prayers and support.

Like Andrew – strive to lead my brother to Christ.

Like Stephen – manifest a forgiving spirit toward all who seek my hurt.

Like Jesus – go about doing good.
