Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. I hope during this first month of the year, you are making progress toward your goals. About this time, many people quit. Instead of just a resolution, why not make a deep and firm commitment to walking in the will of God 24/7, 365 days a year for the rest of your life. Don’t quit, don’t give up. I’m still going….#50songs50days. If you have had a set back, let it become a set up for your come back. Here is your daily eword.
The Bible tells us in John 1:12 that we can know that we are God’s children. As His children, he wants us to succeed in life, and he gives us the valuable instruction to write the vision down and make it plain, so that those who read it can run with it. (Habakkuk 2:2) If we really want to thrive in our Christian walk, and keep on growing, setting goals is an important part of the process. From this scripture in Habakkuk, we can see that there are steps involved in the process.
So here are the steps for setting and accomplishing goals, one at a time.
1) Write it down – Typing is fine too! Just use you pen or keyboard to express what you want to accomplish. Small goals are as important as the large ones!
2) Make it plain – Keep it simple. Enough of life is complicated. Keep it easy to read and easy to run with.
3) Read it – Keep it in front of you – on your dashboard in your car, or on your mirror in your bathroom, or on your screen of your computer. Read it as a reminder and as an encouragement to yourself.
4) Run with it – Be a doer! Don’t just think about it, put it into action. Don’t put it off until tomorrow, begin today and do it now.
There is a great sense of accomplishment that comes when you achieve your goals. If you have failed before at finishing a goal, we all have!!!!, set it behind you and look ahead. We have all messed up, but we can brush ourselves off, and start again. Don’t let your set back, make you quit! Your set back, can be a set up for your come back!
Write it down and make it plain
Breathe it, Read it everyday
Make it yours so you can run
Until your vision becomes DONE!
