New Years Eve

Wednesday – History

Reading – 1 Kings 9-11

Highlight Verse:

“In Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the Lord his God, as his father, David, had been.”
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭11‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s the last day of the year.

Tomorrow, many will start new resolutions to improve their lives in some way.

There’s nothing wrong with that, until the resolution gets broken around the third day.

Been there. Done that.

What would happen if you started keeping that resolution now, before the New Year starts?

Many people treat New Year’s Eve as another Mardi Gras where you break those resolutions left and right.

That’s not a great way to prepare to keep a resolution.

Solomon could tell your now that overindulging is a lousy way to stay close to God.

His wealth allowed him to get pretty much any woman he wanted. And he wanted a lot of them. In fact, the Bible tells us he had a thousand women.

And they led him astray in his old age.

The wisest man in the world lost the most important part of his wisdom – a close relationship with God.

Let’s get some momentum going into the new year by finishing this year strong.

What resolutions or goals are you setting for the new year?
What are you doing now to prepare for them?
