Goals

I heard once that you should have a daily goal and try to accomplish that goal each day.  My daily goal is to please God, to show humility to others, and to be a blessing to those I encounter.  

Just imagine, if we all did this, each day.  What a wonderful world we would live in.  But, the reality is that we live in a broken world, and that outside of God's grace and love, we can't accomplish anything.  

Goals require discipline and consistency; not giving up, even when you're kicked in the face, (so to speak) by Satan.  Just imagine the desperation that Job (from the Bible) felt.  

We've all faced difficulties.  We've all been there, maybe not as extreme as Job’s situation, but it sure feels like it when it's you.  That's when God reaches down and picks us up out of that desperate, hopeless feeling.  He loves us, folks, right in the middle of our unworthiness.

I strive to please God; to make this my daily goal. I don’t want to put Him on some meaningless to-do list.  I want to stop being so busy with trivial activities and focus on the prize.  The prize is eternal life with our Creator. 

As I strive towards this goal each day, I don't want to forget others along my path, and I want to share my love with those that God places in my life.  

What’s your goal today? Start today with God in mind.
