Basically
this hashtag, #Goals, is being used for everything under the sun they could
possibly ever want.
Things
like:
· setting deadlines
· specific details on how to reach the goal
· a way to measure the progress of our goals
Having
these big vague goals won’t bring much success to our lives.
But
today I’m also challenging myself with this question …
God, what are the goals you want me to set for my life?
There
is a verse that reminds me how important it is to seek God first in everything,
including goals:
“But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.”
– Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
and all these things will be given to you as well.”
– Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
So,
how do we seek God’s goals for ourselves?
I
think it can be summarized like this: seek, seek some more and never
stop seeking.
Seek
Him in worship.
Seek Him in prayer.
Seek Him through His written Word, the Bible.
Seek Him in prayer.
Seek Him through His written Word, the Bible.
I
don’t know that we ever arrive at fully understanding the plans, dreams and
goals God has for each of us. But as we stay in this posture of seeking, I
think we’ll feel a little steadier in our steps.
The
goals God has for us reach into eternity. They are the things that never return
void in our lives.

Who is someone you can see in your life who is good at setting and reaching
goals?
— Read
Matthew 19:26. What does this verse say when the goals in our lives look a
little impossible?

Take a few minutes and journal today. Ask God for the goals He has for you in
this season of your life. Write them down, share them with a friend or share
them with us on the God’s Girls Facebook Page.
No matter where you in your
reading, read Chapter 15 this week. The author has a lot to say about
"Life Goals."
Be blessed and be a blessing!
