“All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.”
Baseball Player Steve Garvey,
“You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.”
1. Goals Are Statements Of Faith
Today, we will look at number two: 2. Goals Focus My Energy
You are going to go through life either by design or by default. You either set goals and decide what is important for you in your life or circumstances and people and people are going to decide your life for you.
The bigger your goal, the more your faith will be stretched and that pleases God.
Hebrews 11:6 ..without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Romans 14:23 Everything that does not come from faith is sin.
So, if I don’t have any goals, I don’t need to take any risks, if don’t take any risks I don’t need any faith. If I don’t have any faith, I am being unfaithful and in sin.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Let the size of your God determine the size of your goal.
We limit God by our unbelief.
Goals are statement of faith.
Goals keep you focused. Also, they keep you from wasting time, money, energy, and repetition.
Focus is the key to an effective life.Paul says, “It is this one thing I do.” The more you focus your life, the more powerful and the more effective your life is going to be. If you spread your life and do many things in your life, you will make no impact at all. But if you focus your life, it is going to going to be powerful, it is going to be strong, and it will change the world.
Remember what I shared yesterday:
Light diffused has no power at all but when you focus light, it has enormous power. The sun cannot set things on fire because it is diffused. But when you take a magnifying glass and pass the sun rays through it, you can set a paper on fire. If you focus light even more, it can become a laser and a laser can cut through steel and glass. A laser can kill cancer cells. You can live a laser -focused life.
Goals focus my energy.
The world is full of distractions. You can spend your life being distracted, you can waste your life doing things and that which are not meaningful, or you can invest your life. The greatest use of life is to invest in that which is going to outlast it.
