New Year- Who helps my decisions?

There are many times that i struggled between two years. At the beginning of this year i said to myself that i would not make any mistakes like i did in the last year. Now i stand and look back there are many mistakes i did. Yet now i am here healthy and happy. Its all because in each moment of pressure in the last year, like a rainbow after every rain fall, i could see the hand of the Lord my God. Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save.

There are many that followed the Lord in the bible. But those that made some decisions are highlighted. 

Joshua made a decision that he and his family will serve the Lord alone. Josh. 24:15
David made a decision that he will take care of leading a blameless life. Ps. 101:2
Paul made a decision that he will press on toward the goal.. Phili. 3:14
Peter made a decision that he would not leave the Lord even if others leave. Mt. 26:33

Satan came to both Iscariot and Peter. Peter was addressed by Jesus as Satan. Yet Jesus made him survive because he is a man of decision where as Judas has been an important disciple and never took a loyal decision. Peter could not keep his decision, yet God helped him with it. David could not lead a blameless life but since he took a decision the Lord helped him with it. 

Now, I am taking a decision based not on my ability but on my Lord's faithfulness. He helps me through. Oh I am taking my Savior's hand and stepping into this new year with a complete peace. He is Emmanuel.

Isaiah 6:3-4

Isaiah Chapter 6

v. 3. “Holy, holy, holy"
They could not sing except than what they could see. I don't think we can ask these angels to write a song. Their song cannot be long enough. They sing only few things because they are occupied by many things that they could not comprehend. We understand God the Father by seeing that were created (Rom. 1:20). Angels now seeing the Creator and he cannot be fully grasped. Oh my God!

 v.4. "At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook" 

It seems worship shakes the doorposts and thresholds of any physical things. Acts 16:25-26

 "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God... Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken...."

In New Testament, we see the same result. When Paul and Silas were singing while praying the prison shook and the doors were opened.

The difference between OT and NT is that, in OT while worship was going on the enemies were confused and killed themselves (2 Chr. 20:21-23). Here in NT jailer also was about to kill himself but since NT comes with a different teaching of forgiveness, Paul saved him. That night the deliverance was not for the Paul and Silas, but it was for the jailer.
