Resolution 3



   Based on Jonathan Edward's resolutions I have written 25 of my own (Edwards had too many and they were written in old English). I have spent a few years meditating on them and they have been a great help. Maybe they will edify and inspire you. Here is number 3:
I am resolved ...
To watch for, above all things, the growth of pride in my life. To understand myself blessed in spite of myself and my sinfulness and thus understand that I have no justification for pride nor vanity. Furthermore I will not expect nor demand such an attitude in others.

Proverbs 11:2; 16:5; 29:23; 16:18; 26:12
Galations 6:3
James 4:6
Philippians 2:3
Romans 12:16
2 Timothy 3:2
1 Corinithians 13:4
