The Resolutions of Johnathan Edwards

The great Johnathan Edwards had a list of resolutions that he read once a week. It would do us all good to ruminate upon his resolutions and internalize them. I will post a new resolution or resolutions each day until we are done with the list of 70. I pray that each of us uses his resolutions as part of our daily meditation for the next several weeks.

Resolution #1 through #3

1. Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God's glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad's of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great soever.

2. Resolved, to be continually endeavoring to find out some new invention and contrivance to promote the aforementioned things.

3. Resolved, if ever I shall fall and grow dull, so as to neglect to keep any part of these Resolutions, to repent of all I can remember, when I come to myself again.
