Now that we are well into the new year, you may have already set New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, grow closer to Christ or any other type of goal. However, as a Christian, what if you decided to set faith goals instead of making resolutions that honestly, you probably won’t even keep.
“I’ll make no resolutions, I find no need for such. I have a set from least year that hasn’t yet been touched.”
Faith goals differ from a typical resolution because these goals require faith for them to be possible. By including God in the process, a goal turns into a covenant between you and God rather than a man-made goal.
While you may have given up on setting new resolutions this year, setting a faith goal can be different.
Faith goals provide direction. Living a life with purpose is important, and setting goals throughout life, even small ones, can be a great way to move forward and achieve.
Faith goals help to focus intentions. Try to write down general intentions and activities. By documenting goals, it will help you remember them as well as work towards achieving those goals. Think about posting a list of goals on the fridge or another place in your home to remember a faith goal every day.
A faith goal is an affirmation of God’s plans for your life. Everything in life happens for a reason, and our lives have a purpose. By making a faith goal, we recognize those purposes and seek to make our lives more like our Creator intended.
Faith goals, like any other goal, can be difficult to accomplish. However, by setting a goal with faith, we rely not only on ourselves, but also on God and His plan for our lives. Set goals that have a purpose and are in accordance with Biblical principles and work to achieve those goals with His help. Take on a positive attitude while working to accomplish these faith goals and, not only will work be done, but God will be glorified in the process.
