Only one more
day in 2013. What spiritual goals have you reached this past year? What spiritual
goals are you considering or making resolution plans for 2014? Here are some
things to consider when setting Spiritual Goals for the New Year:
1.
What would you like to accomplish spiritually
this year?
2.
What attitude or habit needs to change?
3.
How would you like God to use you?
4.
What ministry could utilize your unique gifts?
5.
What ministry could benefit from your
leadership?
6.
What level of intimacy would you like to have
with God?
7.
What friend would you like to lead to Christ?
8.
Who do you want to be your mentor…and who do you
want to mentor?
As you consider these questions, think about what steps you
can take on a monthly, weekly and daily basis to attain these goals. We need
goals in lots of areas of our lives to challenge us—at work, at home, with
physical fitness and with diet or nutrition (how many pounds do you want to lose
this year?). Let me challenge you to seek to set some spiritual goals for 2014.
Without a goal we fail to attain anything. As Lawrence J. Peter said…
If you don't know where you
are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.
Where are you
going in 2014?
Training Tip – No matter what the ages of your children, you can
help them consider a goal—even a spiritual goal. They can memorize scripture,
lead a friend to Christ, help a neighbor or do extra chores to earn money to be
used for homeless ministry. They can take water or food to a homeless person
(with your help) or sell homemade lemonade to raise money for a missionary.
Lord, help us to choose attainable goals with Your wisdom
and vision. Guide us in the things we do with our family and friends, and
others to reach those goals.
