Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
I see so many just walking aimlessly through life. SEARCHING,
but not sure what they are seeking; MOVING,
but not sure where they are going; BREATHING
but not really living; they have NO
GOALS.
I am a goal setter and a list maker. I DON’T
always reach my goal or finish my list but it gives me a mark to reach for and
helps to focus my attention. Today I
reached two health goals; one I sat last August and the other I sat January 1…As
of today I have lost 50 pounds, can walk an hour on the treadmill at a speed of
3.5 mph with an intermittent incline of 10%, finish 11 minutes on the stair stepper
and just started a 20 minute Kettle Bell routine 3 days/week. I know it sounds as if I am bragging and
maybe I AM…I FEEL GREAT. But it would have never happened if I had
refused to set a GOAL.
I have set another goal; the most IMPORTANT GOAL and I have faith that one day I will reach that goal
because I have the BEST COACH
training and cheering me on…His Name is JESUS. I set this goal 49 years ago and I am DETERMINED TO KEEP PRESSING FORWARD! I don’t always reach my daily or weekly goal
and sometimes I don’t finish my list in my walk with God, but I keep moving
forward with my focus on Jesus because I intend to WIN THE PRIZE.
What do you desire? SET A GOAL. It doesn’t have to be huge, just a small
change can help move you in the right direction. Set the goal. Write it down. Ask for the help you need. Then start moving forward.
IF YOU NEVER SET A
GOAL, YOU WILL NEVER FEEL THE “THRILL
OF VICTORY.”
