Make a Jesus Resolution

“For the Lord GOD will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My

face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.”

Isaiah 50:7 NKJV

1. IF IT’S NOT YOUR FATHER’S BUSINESS, THEN IT’S NONE OF YOURS!

“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.”

1 Thessalonians 4:11 NLT

“And He said to them, ‘Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

Luke 2:49 NKJV

2. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEECHES AND BUTTERFLIES!

“The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.”

Proverbs 12:26 NKJV

“...Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.” Matthew 16:23 NASB

3. BE A THERMOSTAT, NOT A THERMOMETER!

“Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, ‘I am thirsty.’ A

jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, ‘It is finished!’ Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”

John 19:28-30 NLT
