Every New Year's Eve. around midnight I make out goals and desires I have for the new year.
Now goals are things you have control over desires are things you want to happen but have no control over. You may want to be a better worker or student that would be a good goal to have because you have control over that. You may also want a raise at your job that would be a desire because that is up to those you work for.
It is also good to have some spiritual goals and desires. Some spiritual examples would be to read through the Bible, pray more, share Christ with others. Thanks to a sermon my Pastor did around New Year's a desire I have this year is to have pain for those who don't know Christ. There are souls that we all know or should know who God created to know him who don't know him. Is that not a good desire to have.
Besides wanting to see others come to Christ in 2013 we should want to grow in our relationship with the Lord. Psalms 37:4 says delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
If we want to be blessed by God and to know his will we have got to spend time with him.The purpose statement of a ministry I use to be with was to know God and make him known.
What do you think?
Until next time,
