Some of you have asked if I would post the notes from the Goal Setting video from last Wednesday. Please spend time contemplating and praying about these ideas from The Daniel Plan.
FIVE REASONS WHY I NEED TO SET PERSONAL GOAL
1. Goal setting is a
spiritual discipline.
“God plans to bring all of history to its goal in Christ.
Then Christ will be the head of
everything in heaven and on earth!” Eph.1:10
(GW)
2. Goals focus my energy.
“I do not run without a goal. I fight like a boxer who is
hitting something—not just the air.” 1 Cor. 9:26 (NCV)
“Make
the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days.” Eph. 5:16 (NLT)
3. Goals stretch my
faith.
“According to your faith
will it be done to you.” Matt. 9:29
“Everything that does not come from faith is sin.” Rom.14:23
4. Goals build my character.
Paul: “I do not claim that I’ve already succeeded or have
already become perfect. I keep striving toward the goal for which Christ
Jesus has won me to himself.” Phil. 3:12 (TEV)
“Then we will be mature, just as Christ is, and we
will be completely like him.” Eph. 4:13 (CEV)
5. Goals give me hope.
Job: “I do not have the strength to endure. I do not have a
goal that encourages me to carry on.” Job 6:11 (NLT)
“The plans I have for you are plans to prosper you, not to harm
you. They are plans to give you hope and a future.” Jer. 29:11 (NIV)
I hope you are encouraged to do something to make your life healthier and happier. God desires you to be your best, and will help you. I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord. - Jeremiah 30:17
