Dear Young Christian:

As you look back over this past year, ask yourself these questions:

1. Was the Lord number 1 in my life?

2. Was it a year of personal spiritual growth?

3. Did I use my time wisely?

4. Did I use my resources wisely?

5. Was there fruit for God’s glory?

6. Were others blessed because of my testimony?

7. Did I live in view of eternity and the Lord’s coming?

When the Apostle Paul looked back over his Christian life, he could say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all say that concerning 2021? If not, let’s ask the Lord to help us to make 2022 the year where we can say like Caleb “I wholly followed the Lord my God” (Joshua 14:8).

Your Christian Friend,
