Resolutions

After reading through the resolutions of JE this past weekend I was compelled to write down a few of my own.  I came up with 31 which I will no doubt be adding to in the future, but this is where I'm at right now, and like JE, I must start by saying...

Being sensible that I am unable to do anything without God's help, I do humbly entreat him by his grace to enable me to keep these resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ's sake. 

1. Resolved, whenever I catch myself attempting to trust in anything other than Christ as the grounds of my justification, to immediately beat my breast in repentance and beg for mercy.
2. Resolved, to never think of any good deed as deserving of a reward, or as anything more than my duty.
3. Resolved, never to go a day without reading the Bible as long as I live.
4. Resolved, when I feel that antinomian spirit rising up in me causing me to excuse a future sin for the sake of grace, to immediately do all I can to fight against it.
5. Resolved, to act as I would wish I had acted if I were watching a replay of my life.
6. Resolved, never to pass up a clear opportunity to share the gospel with someone for the sake of my own comfort and ease.
7. Resolved, to never cease asking God for things that are agreeable to his will, however long it takes.
8. Resolved, to pay close attention to recognize things that are answers to prayer, especially those that involve suffering as an answer to prayer.
9. Resolved, never to do anything out of pride, and when I do, to remember that the things I regret in life were all done out of pride.
10. Resolved, to examine all criticism, even if it seems unreasonable.
11. Resolved, to endeavor to go to bed every night loving Christ more than I did the night before.
12. Resolved, never to avoid things that make me tremble out of fear of God, but rather, to let them have their full effect.
13. Resolved, never again to pursue a relationship with a woman if I am not seeking first the kingdom of God in such action.
14. Resolved, [Proverbs 12:23].
15. Resolved, never to look twice.
16. Resolved, when I fail to tremble at things that have made me tremble in the past, to examine why.
17. Resolved, never to view the events of my day apart from the sovereignty of God.
18. Resolved, never to do my job any differently than I would if my boss were standing right behind me at all times.
19. Resolved, never to debate theology out of a spirit of pride.
20. Resolved, never to blow off an opportunity to help someone for the sake of a televised sporting event.
21. Resolved, when I feel myself envious of an unregenerate person, to imagine being in their place on Judgment Day.
22. Resolved, to wake up extra-early on Sunday morning and do all I can to prepare my heart to worship.
23. Resolved, never to think I am as repentant or as humble as I ought to be, and to realize that if I think I am, it is a sure sign that I am not.
24. Resolved, when I give someone my word that I will be at a certain place at a certain time, to do everything in my power to keep the appointment regardless of what difficulties I should meet with.
25. Resolved, when I am impatient with someone, or inconvenienced by them, to remember to see all meetings as divine appointments.
26. Resolved, to strive to see the glory and wisdom of God in all things, even the smallest and most trivial.
27. Resolved, when I feel the urge to sin, to imagine myself walking up to the cross as Jesus hangs there and sticking a knife into his side.
28. Resolved, to leap for joy if I am counted worthy to be reviled for the name of Jesus.
29. Resolved, never to speak anything about anyone that I would be afraid of them finding out what I said about them word for word.
30. Resolved, when I feel road rage coming on, to act the way I think John Piper would act when he's driving. 
31. Resolved, to memorize, and never grow weary of fighting to keep these resolutions, no matter how unsuccessful I may be.
