Resolution of a child of God
Psalm 78:70~72 He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens; from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance. And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.

Many people live without hearing the voice of God while they pay attention to the words of people. Also, they struggle to be acknowledged in people’s eyes and are unable to see how they look in God’s eyes. The Almighty God loves us despite our weaknesses and desires for us to no longer be deceived by the world, people, and problems, but to hold on to God’s promise, wait, enjoy, and rise to the challenge. Now is the time for the children of God to make a resolution. What resolution should we make?
1. Small resolution to make today into the most valuable day
Although today may seem trivial, it is the greatest gift from God to you. Depending on how you live today, you can find the big answers God has hidden or pass them by unwittingly. David was prepared as a man of God who had faith and skill during his days as a shepherd through the “today” that God had prepared for him.Psalm 78:70~72 This day that God has given to you is the best starting point and platform to fulfill God’s plan for you.
2. Life resolution of challenging within God’s time schedule
If you make a resolution and rise to the challenge today, you will see God’s plan. When you make a life resolution and challenge like Moses who stood before Pharaoh and Elisha who burned all of his farming equipment and stepped forward in faith, God allows you to see His time schedule for your life. A person who has seen this has no reason to be discouraged, shaken, or become arrogant. Like the plan of God that he has seen, he just needs to endlessly challenge with boldness and faith for the spiritual summit to move the world.
3. Great resolution of fulfilling God’s plan
If you reach a life resolution and begin to challenge to the spiritual summit, problems and conflicts are bound to come. This is the opportunity to enjoy the most important answers. When problems and conflicts come, do not fall into them but see God’s plan that is greater than them. Discard what is yours as well as your thoughts, and untangle the knot that is holding you back from fulfilling God’s plan. When we know this fact and begin praying, God will allow us to realize God’s blessings so that we will save all people and fulfill His plan.
