1 Message for THE LORD S DAY EVENING, January 6, 2013 Christian Hope Church of Christ, Plymouth, North Carolina by Reggie A. Braziel, Minister 3 Resolutions for The New Year James 4:13-17(NKJV) Please turn with me in your Bibles to James the fourth chapter. James 4:13-15 (NKJV) 13 Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit ; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. P R A Y E R ************************************************************************* I N T R O D U C T I O N God has now brought us safely to another new year. We are now one year closer to the return of our Savior.. one year closer to home. In many ways a New Year is really no different than an old year, other than we put up a new calendar and start writing a different date on our checks.
2 But in our minds, a new year is a time for a new beginning, a fresh start.a time when the slate is wiped clean and we get another chance to get it right and to do better. Just like every year before it, 2013 brings with it new opportunities, new challenges, new privileges and new difficulties. Just like every year before it, should the LORD tarry His coming, 2013 will have its share of good days and bad days.good news and bad news..happy times and sad times. ******************************************* TRANSITION TO SCRIPTURE TEXT ****************************************** This is the time of year many people make their New Year s resolutions. A resolution is a firm commitment or decision to do something that will improve one s life. Most resolutions deal with the temporal things of life rather than the spiritual. As we go back to our scripture text here in James chapter 4, I want to point out three things you and I can resolve to do this year that will help us to grow in our spiritual life. **************************************************************** The first resolution James challenges us with is this. I. Let Us Resolve To SURRENDER Our PLANS To The LORD (v. 13, 14a) 13 Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit ; 14a whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow.
3 1. The people James is addressing in this 13 th verse had mapped out their entire year. They had come up with a plan that determined precisely when they would leave, how long they would stay, what business they would conduct and even what profits they would make. 2. What James is rebuking here is the proud, arrogant spirit of making one s life plans with absolutely no regard for the sovereignty of God. In fact, James even says so in v. 16, But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 3. James is saying, How can you boast about everything you plan to do over the next year, when you don t even know what will happen tomorrow? 4. Now it is important that we understand James is NOT telling us it is wrong for us to make plans or to set goals for this coming year, but that we do so in a spirit of humble surrender realizing that our plans and goals are always subject to the divine will of GOD. PROVERBS 16:3 (NIV) says, Commit to the LORD, whatever you do, and your plans will l succeed. PROVERBS 16:9 (NKJV) A man s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. 4. Let s think of 2013 as a trip. We started on this trip six days ago. Up to this point everything has gone smoothly. But we don t know what lies ahead for the remainder of this year long trip, do we? We don t know every twist and turn in our life s road this year.
4 We don t know what detours or dangers we might encounter. We don t know what mountains we ll climb or what valley s we will have to go through. But GOD does! He sees what we cannot see. He knows what we can t possibly know. And so while we make our plans, and set our goals, and mark our appointments on the calendar, may we RESOLVE TO SURRENDER OUR PLANS TO THE LORD IN A SPIRIT OF HUMILITY, realizing He is ultimately in control. ************************************************************************ The second resolution James challenges us with is this: II. Let Us Resolve To SAVOR Each MOMENT The LORD Blesses Us With This Year (v. 14b) v.14b For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 1. This time of year the imagery James uses in this verse is especially vivid to us. On these cold winter mornings, when you and I walk outside and exhale, the warm air coming from our mouth becomes a vapor when it meets to chilly air. That vapor doesn t go on and on does it? That vapor is here and then it is gone. James tells us that is how life is: For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
5 2. Other scriptures bear out this same truth about the brevity of our life. PSALM 39:4, 5 LORD, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. Indeed, you have made my days as handbreadths, and my age is nothing before You; certaintly every man at his best state is but a vapor. PSALM 102:11 compares our life to AN EVENING SHADOW that quickly fades into the darkness. PSALM 103 :15 compares our life to GRASS and FLOWERS in a field that quickly sprout up and are then carried away by the wind. 3. I don t about you, but it seems to me that the older I get the more quickly the years pass by. The other day I was telling Linda about a childhood memory that occurred when I was seven years old. And then it occurred to me that fifty years have now passed since then. 4. Perhaps all of us to some degree or another are guilty of wishing our lives away. *We watch the clock until quittin time! *We count down the days until the weekend. *We mark off the months and days on the calendar until our vacation.
6 Perhaps this little poem says it best.. It was spring, but it was summer I wanted, the warm days, and the great outdoors. It was summer, but it was fall I wanted, the colorful leaves, and the cool, dry air. It was autumn, but it was winter I wanted, the beautiful snow, and the joy of the holiday season. I was a child, but it was adulthood I wanted, the freedom, and the respect. I was twenty, but it was thirty I wanted, to be mature, and sophisticated. I was middle-aged, but it was thirty I wanted, the youth, and the free spirit. I was retired, but it was middle-age that I wanted, the presence of mind, without limitations. My life was over, but I never got what I wanted. 5. Several years ago ALABAMA recorded a song. The lyrics went like this: I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why. 6. This year let us RESOLVE TO SLOW DOWN AND SAVOR THE BLESSINGS THE LORD BRINGS INTO OUR LIVES EACH AND EVERY DAY.
7 7. Let s resolve to SAVOR more of the little things in life sunrises and sunsets.full moons and twinkling stars the sound of the songbirds and the beauty of the flowers the refreshing smell of rain and the gentle fall breeze blowing across our face. 8. Let s resolve to SAVOR our freedom of worship..and the waving of the flag.and the singing of our National anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance, for these are blessings that may soon disappear. 9. Let s resolve to SAVOR our moments in God s word and time spent in prayer.and opportunities to tell someone about Christ. YES, LET US RESOLVE TO SAVOR EACH AND EVERY MOMENT THE LORD BLESSES US WITH THIS YEAR! **************************************** The third resolution James challenges us with is this: III. Let Us Resolve To SEEK The LORD S Will This Year (v. 15) 15 Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. 1. What would be different about your life if you sought God s will with all your heart this year? What would be different if you started each and every day by praying, Not my will but Your s be done?
8 2. Many Christians are confused when it comes to the matter of knowing and discerning God s will. *Some believe one can t know God s will. *Some believe God gives signs or speaks to them in an audible voice. *Some believe you get a certain feeling or experience some kind of an emotion that let s them know if a decision they are about to make or have made is within God s will. 3. The truth is, the best place to discover God s will is to dig into God s word. God s word reveals God s will for all men! If I dedicate my life to living by the word of God this year, then I know I will be living within the will of God. 4. This year may we RESOLVE to be like the Bereans in Acts chapter 17, who examined the scriptures daily. 5. If we will resolve to search God s word daily with receptive minds and obedient hearts, we will become better husbands and wives..better moms and dads..better Church members..better neighbors.better employees and better citizens. And we can know assuredly that we are living within GOD S WILL this year.
9 C O N C L U S I O N Having a Happy New Year this year is not a matter of having everything you want or having everything go your way. Having a Happy New Year not about having perfect circumstances or the absence of troubles and problems. Your happiness and mine this year is dependent upon our inward response to GOD. Let Us Resolve To SURRENDER Our PLANS To The LORD! Let Us Resolve To SAVOR Each MOMENT The LORD Blesses Us With This Year! And Let Us Resolve To SEEK The LORD S Will This Year!
