Making the most of your goals ... If you were asked to write a letter to yourself and in that letter you were asked to write about your life in ten years what would be in it? What will you life look like in ten years? Have you ever thought about it, have you ever thought about what is most important to you, so important that you would make it a goal to have it still be around in ten years? In order to write the story of your life you have to have a plan for the story of your life, you have to have goals. Things that you want to see achieved in your life time. Very few people just fall into greatness. Those who do great things for others set goals to great things, and then they achieve those goals. It can be said that goals are dreams with deadlines. We all have many dreams but we need goals because dreams that don’t have deadlines typically never come to be. So where will you be in ten years? What will be your story? God has powerful words to say about dreams and goals. Check this out Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. What about you do you move with diligence or do you just run about waiting for things to happen? I know that some of you have goals and dreams, but do you have a plan to get it done? Have you ever thought through the goal and the dream enough to consider if it was worth your time to go after? As we move though life, life will happen and it will continue to move forward for sure, but will you remember today in a week, a month, a year? That is a question that has been rattling in my mind for some time now. “Will I remember today?” As I grow older I realize that many of my days are spent and done and well nothing great really happened and then I ask the question will I remember today? Chances are if I did not have a God encounter or something else substantial happen I will not remember today in a week. That is a hard fact to live with. We all only have a certain number of days to use to change the world. So what are you doing with yours? How are you using your days? Check this out Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. We have looked at this verse before but it says so much about life. If we want to live the best life ever then we have to follow this verse and the words of wisdom that come from it. Do you trust God most of all? Why or why not? Tough question to process. In this new year it should be a goal of yours. To trust God with everything and allow Him to guide you in the story our your life… His story will be the best story that you could ever live! Trust Him!
