The word "resolution" in Daniel Webster says that it is the quality of not allowing difficulties or opposition to affect one’s purpose.
Christians will resolute to diet, to exercise, to set new personal goals,and most do this in good will.
Remember that the Word says that we can do all things thru Christ who strengthens us. For with God all things are possible. If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. But without Faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those that DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM!!!
