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. Ephesians 2:20
If you’re like me, you’re probably contemplating as to whether you should write your New Year’s resolutions. Usually at this time, magazines and media emphasize goal-setting. But do they really work?
I think goals help me keep focused and striving for something. I’ve realized there are two types of goals. Goals that I pretty much have control over and goals that I hope will happen but that I can’t control. For example, I can pretty much control whether I read the Bible in a year. I just have to stay disciplined. I can have the goal to have a picture book manuscript accepted, but I can’t really control that. I can do all I can on my end, but the rest is up to God and the editors.
So I’m dividing my goals….dreams/goals I hope God will make come true and goals that I will strive for. And when we dream what God can do in 2012, DREAM BIG! God can do immeasurably MORE than we can imagine!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for another year. I want to start the year being faithful to You and believing You will do incredible things in my life.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
