The Importance Of Goals

Why are goals important?

God’s Response

I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. 1 Corinthians 9:26

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil. Proverbs 4:25-27

Goals give us direction. You may have a lot of goals for different areas of life (including those New Year’s resolutions you made), but make following God your primary, overarching goal. You do not know what the year ahead will bring, so setting that goal will give you purpose and keep you from straying away from God regardless of what life throws at you.

God’s Promise

We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. Proverbs 16:9
