What Are Your Spiritual Goals for 2015?

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26 

It is good to have goals—without them you don’t know when or if you’ve achieved what you set out to do. How can you? Without goals…you fail. Do you have any spiritual goals for the coming year? What has Jesus spoken to you?

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 or encourage in their spiritual maturity?

Goals are important. Without goals we have no vision and we are more likely to be tossed about—wishy washy. That could be an opportunity for sin to enter. Keep the temptation of sin away by having Godly goals and concentrating on them. Once you have a goal, then there must be something done monthly, weekly, daily to achieve that goal. When you reach your goal—celebrate. Party! Then set a new goal. Don’t let any joy in your life be taken away by sin. 

RSVP: Jesus is asking you today to look at your life—at your spiritual goal for the coming year. He wants you to ask for spiritual guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. How will you respond to Him today? 

Prayer ~Holy Spirit, help me to remember the things Jesus taught—that I would live in a way that is pleasing to Him…and to You. I want to have a good attitude towards God and others—a better attitude than I have this past year. Give me wisdom. Use me and the gifts You have given me to guide others around me to know You better, too.
