1. What was one of the best things that happened in 2008? One of the worst?
2. Let’s see what the Bible says about the future:
“Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city. We will spend a year there. We will buy and sell and make money.’ You don't even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist that appears for a little while. Then it disappears. Instead, you should say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.’ As it is, you are proud. You brag about it. That kind of bragging is evil.” (James 4:13-16)
and
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. In all your ways remember him. Then he will make your paths smooth and straight.” (Proverbs 3:5,6)
What’s wrong with making future plans or using on our own understanding?
3. Is there an area in your life that you would like to see changed in 2009?
4. What should be our source of strength for making changes in our lives, according to the following verse in Philippians 4:13?
“I can do everything by the power of Christ. He gives me strength.”
5. How can we experience this “power of Christ” in 2009?
