THE MAIN THEME:  HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

 TITLE:  ARE YOUR GOALS SMART?

The bible verse for today’s devotional: Luke 14:28 (NIV)

Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

Devotional:

Getting to where you are going requires that you set a FAITH-BASED SMART GOALS: This requires that goals are specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound.

Through prayers, you can specifically ask God for divine direction to the exact actions you need to take as goals are designed to help show you how to attain your vision.

When we prayerfully create a specific goal, we are rest assured that it will be meaningful to accomplishing God’s purpose for our lives. 

 When setting attainable goals, we need to use the eyes of faith, trusting in God’s capacity to provide all the resources we need to accomplish his work.  I once heard my mentor say that “God’s work done in God’s way does not lack resources”.   What makes goals attainable ranges from time, human resources, materials and money.  God is able to supply all our needs according to his riches in glory, and nothing is impossible to him that believes.

 Our goals must be relevant to achieving our vision. Aligning our goals to the gifts and purpose God has graced us with is very key. Sometimes we struggle discerning whether it’s God’s time for us to execute our goals.  As we action our goals, we must be willing to surrender to his divine direction and instructions, pausing when he leads and continuing as he guides us, knowing fully well that all things are working together for our good.

 Here are a few reflective questions:

• Are my goals specific, to an extent that it could be measured when attained or not attained?
• Do I believe that I can achieve my Goals and am I willing to commit to the success of my goals? 

  Let us pray:

Lord thank you for your word to me today, I receive the grace to critically commit to setting a faith-based SMART goals, knowing that it is your will for me to succeed in all that I do to the glory of your name in Jesus’ name. Amen

Please say these words of affirmation: Say them. Mean them, own them and live them--

• I know where I am heading to
• I achieve whatever I set my mind on that is in accordance with your will
• I am focused and determined

Do have a pleasant day beautiful souls, I’ll see you tomorrow.
