Romans 13:11-12
I do promise—my God helping:
Firstly, that I will rise every morning sufficiently early (say 20 minutes before seven o’clock) to wash, dress and have a few minutes, not less than five, in private prayer.
Secondly, that I will as much as possible avoid all that babbling and idle talking in which I have lately so sinfully indulged.
Thirdly, that I will endeavor in my conduct and deportment before the world and my fellow servants especially to conduct myself as a humble, meek and zealous follower of the bleeding Lamb, and by serious conversation and warning endeavor to lead them to think of their immortal souls.
Fourthly, that I will read not less than four chapters in God’s Word every day.
Fifthly, that I will strive to live closer to God, and to seek after holiness of heart, and leave providential events with God;
Sixthly, that I will read this over every day or at least twice a week.
God help me, enable me to cultivate a spirit of self-denial and to yield myself a prisoner of love to the Redeemer of the world.
Amen and Amen.
I feel my own weakness and without God’s help I shall not keep these resolutions a day. The Lord have mercy upon my guilty soul. I claim the blood; yes, oh, yes, Jesus died for me.
To live, to love, to serve my Savior Lord and meet His glad “Well done” at the finish of the fight is my highest ambition.
