Resolution
Thoughts have consequences. We act on what we think.
History The tabernacle was erected on the New Year.
The Feasts of the Trumpets was celebrated on New Year's Day. Nehemiah tells us the day was honored by the reading of God's Law-Word and rejoicing (See: Nehemiah 8:1-12).
Thoughts have consequences. We act on what we think. To resolve or make a resolution is to faithfully decide to do something or take action on something. To resolve is to firmly determine to deal with a problem or difficulty and boldly holding to a purpose. To make a resolution is to make a commitment to accomplish something. There are plenty of historical examples of resolve — Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Daniel, Elijah, David, Paul, Peter, Jude, Charlemagne, Alfred the Great, Oliver Cromwell, George Mason, Patrick Henry, etc.
Examples of resolve:
Thoughts have consequences. We act on what we think. Individuals make resolutions all the time whether or not they realize it. How do you know these resolutions are made? Simple. People act on what they think. There is an old proverb that points to this truth: Actions speak louder than words. Why would it be important for a Christian to faithfully, firmly and boldly determine to deal with a difficulty or hold to a purpose?
Thoughts have consequences. We act on what we think. Can you think of others in history that have made resolutions and shown resolve? What about the Pilgrims, those that led the patriots in the American War of Independence, the Dutch War of Independence, the Scottish War of Independence?
Thoughts have consequences. We act on what we think. There are plenty of examples in history where individuals have both succeeded and failed in keeping their resolutions. Many of those that failed the first time, prayed, and tried again to accomplish their resolution and succeeded later. Failure in initially keeping a resolution turning to success later is seen in many fields of academic pursuit and is especially evident in the field of science. So, were these initial failures in keeping a resolution bad ? or did these failures help to strengthen and teach the individual to rely on God more in order to achieve success in their resolution?
Thoughts have consequences. We act on what we think. When reading a book or magazine, the author prepares the scene so you may see it in your mind's eye. The plot of a story takes shape by reading the situation the main characters are in; thereby, impacting your emotions. In other words, feelings — sad, glad, mad, scared — are determined by how you have read or thought about a situation. The same thing holds true when you listen to an audiobook or listen to the news and/or watch a movie/documentary/the news/cartoon. By reading the situation by sight, hearing or touch, you determine how you will react to any given situation.
Thoughts have consequences. We act on what we think. Training and goal setting are important aspects of making a resolution. To resolve to learn how to play the piano, guitar or any musical instrument requires making a resolution to learn or train one's self how to play. Practicing scales and pieces of music, learning to read music, gaining finger flexibility, listening to a variety of instruments playing music and many other steps are all important with respect to learning how to play the piano.
How to Make a Resolution:
1) Short and simple. The key to making a resolution is to keep it very simple. Determine what area(s) you have a difficult time with and set a goal. Keep your resolutions short, simple and to the point. Do NOT have so many resolutions that you become overwhelmed. One to three resolutions are not unreasonable.
2) Write down your resolution. Write down your resolution. Keep your resolution in a page protector and keep it where you will see it.
3) Time-limited. Determine how long to make that resolution. Will the resolution be something daily for a year? Will the resolution be only for a week, month, or quarterly? Will the resolution be in effect until the goal has been mastered?
