Goals for my Life
          submitted by Pastor Paul Bryant

One day a man named Lot sat down at his desk pulled out a sheet of
paper, and wrote across the top:  "Goals for my Life."  Then he began
to compile the goals that would shape the direction of his life:
1.  To lose a sense of moral values.
2.  To forfeit all spiritual authority in my home.
3.  To exert no influence for good in my community.
4.  To loose everyone and everything dear to me.

Ridiculous, you say? Then consider this: Lot had no such goals, yet he
accomplished everything on that list! Those unwritten goals simply
became the consequences of his worldly choices.

Lot had no spiritual goals in his life, but you should.  Written goals
help prevent the kind of purposeless drift that set Lot up for disaster.

What do you want to accomplish specifically in 2008?
1.  Scripture memorization
2.  Time in God's Word
3.  Reading good Christian books
4.  Sharing your faith

Write them down, hang them up, pray them through; and with God's help
watch them happen.

Remember, many people have the right aims in life; they just never get
around to pulling the trigger.
