It is almost 2025

There is one day left in 2024, so it is probably a good idea for me to write about goal setting again. If you write goals, you will always accomplish more in a year that matters. You will always learn more in a year. You will always grow more in character. You will always have more new experiences in your life if you write goals. What I just wrote is true. The ones who would deny what I just wrote are those who have never set goals, so they don’t really know. Another reason a person would argue about what I just wrote is because they don’t want to set goals for any number of reasons and want to justify their reluctance.

Set a goal for your Bible reading. You will read more than you usually do and be much more faithful at it.
Set a goal to pray for 15 minutes every day.
Set a goal to read five non-fiction books this year.
Set a goal to go on a short-term mission trip to Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Set at least a dozen goals, write them down, and read them at least weekly. It will transform your life.

God is a goal-setter. He premeditates everything He does, decides, and plans ahead of time. We are created in His image, and we function best when we function as He does.
Come on, give it a shot. What have you got to lose? You might find that everything I just wrote is true.

    Thank you, Dee, for your years of challenging encouragement. It has inspired me to grow closer to Christ and to help my children do the same. You have challenged this lowly missionary in Cambodia to continue to pursue righteousness. I will be 41 in May, so I have 41 goals this year!😁
