Jonathan Edwards’ Resolutions

Worth pondering, particularly as we enter the New Year. A few of my favorites:
5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
6. Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live.
7. Resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life.
15. Resolved, never to suffer the least motions of anger towards irrational beings.
25. Resolved, to examine carefully, and constantly, what that one thing in me is, which causes me in the least to doubt of the love of God; and to direct all my forces against it.
