Have you set any goals for this new year?!
Is goal setting even noteworthy...kinda like New Year Resolutions which are soon forgotten?!
In other words, better to not make a vow than to make one and break it?!
For me, the goals worth setting and keeping are those which will benefit the soul of me.
The psalmist wrote...
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul (
Psalm 106:15).
Here the psalmist is speaking of the children of Israel and their desire for that which had not been given.
Unsatisfied with freedom from bondage, bread, and water, they murmured until God gave them the meat they wanted, only to become sick and diseased, both in body and in soul.
Leanness in soul is a
dreadful state, and I speak from experience...it is a place I
never want to return!!
So, to keep leanness from my soul, I have set goals...things that I am determined to see accomplished in my life through the Spirit.
My personal goals are just that, and reciting them here would not benefit much.
However, this morning I would encourage all who will read this to set spiritual goals and keep them.
In these closing moments of time, it is vital that we lay aside the stuff...the junk that will clutter our lives and keep us from being what God is calling for.
