Old Lazy Dog brings a different view of faith, life, and the struggles we face in the marketplace and our day to day lives…while we strive to go deeper in our faith walk, put our faith to work, and see God at work around us on a daily basis.

New Year Comtemplations

New Year Comtemplations

Marty Stubblefield

Our Lord and God, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because You have created all things, and because of Your will they exist and were created. - Revelation 4:11 HCSB

As the mystifying 2021, that followed the now infamous 2020, comes to a close and we contemplate all that it has encompassed - the hope, the joy, the loss, and the pain - I find myself dwelling on some deeper questions. Questions that can seep into the inner recesses of our mind and soul...

Why are we here... on this earth, in this place, at this time? 

And the answers come flooding into mind with a somewhat simple clarity.

We are here to know and glorify God 

We are here to bring forth spiritual fruit. 

We were created to bring glory to God. 

We were created to honor God. 

We were created to bring pleasure to God.

We were created to worship and praise God.

We are here to be a light in a dark world and shine so that others might know God.

As we begin to make resolutions, commitments and vows for the new year, what if we resolve to do those seven things:

  • Know and Glorify Him

  • Bring Forth Spiritual Fruit

  • Bring Him Glory

  • Honor Him

  • Bring Him Pleasure

  • Praise and Worship Him

  • Shine and Be Light

And perhaps… we are here for such a time as this?

Keep the Faith… Carpe Diem

“If you keep silent at this time, liberation and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another place, but you and your father’s house will be destroyed. Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.” - Esther 4:14 HCSB

How?
