Have
you had your Joy Juice today? Set a
goal to find as much joy in this day as possible….starting with your
relationship with Jesus!
Regardless
of how young or old we are, setting goals is important for success. We like to experience success in all areas of
our lives, but today let’s focus on spiritual success. Charles Stanley wrote a book entitled, Success
God’s Way. The subtitle brings a
smile to my face and joy to my heart: Achieving True Contentment and
Purpose. Isn’t that what this life
is all about? Being content and finding
God’s purpose for us here on earth? In
order to do that, we must be in the center of His will, setting goals to reach
that plan God has for us.
One of
the best examples of a goal-setter in the Bible is the apostle Paul. Look at the passage in Philippians 3 that brings his goal clearly into focus:
7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the
sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss
because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord…
And then in verses 13-14 he spells
it out: “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I
press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me
heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
May we each
“press on toward the goal” and find JOY in the Lord by achieving true
contentment with Jesus Christ.
