Some resolutions of Jonathan Edwards for consideration... 5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can. 7. Resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life. 17. Resolved, that I will live so as I shall wish I had done when I come to die. 52. I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again: Resolved, that I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age. 61. Resolved, that I will not give way to that listlessness which I find unbends and relaxes my mind from being fully and fixedly set on religion, whatever excuse I may have for it-that what my listlessness inclines me to do, is best to be done, etc. "11 Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath. 12 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom." -- Psalm 90:11-12 The correct response to the gravity of the reality of God is fear. It is an alertness, a keen awareness for the need of immediate response and not negligence. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." -- Proverbs 9:10
