What's your goal for your life?

     There are many goals that people consider to be noble.  And having goals is a good thing.  Setting goals that keep us moving in the right direction on the right track is important.  For us to meet those goals means that we have to compare our progress toward those goals from time to time.  But how often do we evaluate our goals, not for the effort needed to attain them, but whether or not they are the correct goals to have?
     Our lives should be pleasing to God, especially if we call ourselves Christians.  And good goal setting always starts with God in mind.  Are you setting you're goals for yourself or for the glory of God?
     Goals should never be set for self.  Many goals have to do with self to some extent, but they should not have self as the focus.  Many good goals have to do with physical fitness.  While these should be good goals to keep, if they take the highest priority in our life then we have made a god out of our self.

• A good way to set goals for any reason (physical fitness, career, personal, etc) is to first pray about your goals.  Ask God what He thinks about the goals and standards you set for yourself.  And ask Him to guide you in setting new goals.
• Next, set goals that, when accomplished, bring glory to God.  When goals are set with God in mind God will help you meet them.
• Finally, Don't stop!  When you have set a goal with God's guidance and for His glory don't stop striving for it.  Keep going!  Keep pressing forward!  God has been, is, and will stay faithful to you - so stay faithful to Him.

Be a blessing to someone today and you will be blessed in deed!
