Reaching Incremental Goals

Few of us want to remain where we are without any improvement or increase. God has wired us to want to grow. But what kind of growth are we looking for?

Sometimes our goals are a steady step-by-step progression, and sometimes they require risk. Whenever we ask God to enlarge our territories, we need faith to move to the next level. That always comes with the possibility of failure, although we can trust Him to be with us either to help us get there or to catch us when we fall. Over time, those steps of faith pay off. We grow and improve and reach higher goals.

Remember to focus on goals that are within your control. As a coach, I worked on learning more and improving my coaching abilities in order to be qualified for positions with greater responsibility. I couldn’t control whether I would be hired for those positions. When you do your part to prepare, you can trust God for the results. In His timing, He’s the one who enlarges your territory. Your job is to make yourself ready for it.

His Promises

Look straight ahead,

and fix your eyes on what lies before you.

Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,

I will not be disgraced.

Therefore, I have set my face like a stone,

determined to do his will.

And I know that I will not be put to shame.

We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.
