Today’s Devotional 📖

Happy Tuesday!

Your goals are important! Sometimes due to the challenges of life or how long it takes us to achieve certain goals, we are tempted to belittle our goals. Why? When we diminish them, it is easier to give up on them.

When you set goals in the direction of the plan of God for your life, each time you achieve a goal you are moving closer to the fulfillment of that part of God’s plan. Your goals are important. It’s how you progress in the plan of God.

Don’t belittle your goals. As it says in Ephesians 2:10, you are God’s masterpiece. The AMPC of that verse says, “For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”

You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. You were planned by God for such a time as this. He created you and recreated you in Christ Jesus so that you can do the good works He planned for you to do. As you achieve your goals, you are moving forward in the divine plan. As you move forward in the divine plan, you will experience more of the good life He has for you.

As you go into your lunch break and into the afternoon, remember you are part of God’s plan and your goals are important. Don’t give up. Keep moving forward. I’m praying for you! You can stream today’s podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcast or Spotify. Let’s keep knocking out these goals together! Have a great day!
