"What does the Bible teach

about setting goals?"

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans, yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Paul urges us to live with that kind of focus and intentionality. Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV) “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

To live with no motivation or

planning is not God’s desire Proverbs 6:6-11 says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.”

Seasons of Life

Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit

the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not

wile it away.

Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “The plans of the diligent lead to profit” (Proverbs 21:5).

Just because we’ve done our

planning doesn’t guarantee

our goals will be met.


The process of setting goals must be infused with humility. James teaches: “Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:13-14).

Balance


The Bible teaches against two extremes: 1. Never setting goals 2. Setting goals with no thought of God. The balanced alternative is found in James 4:15: Instead you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” It is good to make plans, as long as we leave room for God

to change our plans. His goals take precedence over ours. Proverbs 16:9 says, “In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.” In other words, we have our ideas and make our plans, but God will ultimately accomplish His sovereign desires. Do our goals make room for the unexpected? Do we love God’s will more than our own?

Focus


Finally, we can take comfort in the words of Jesus: “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself” (Matthew 6:33-34). Our goal-setting need not be accompanied by fear. If our plans focus on Christ and honor Him, He will see to it that the best results—the eternal results—are ours.

Positive Thinking


Proverbs 23:7-”as a man thinketh in his heart so is he” Setting Positive goals aligned with Scripture and God's will for your life keeps your focus set in the right direction. Otherwise we tend to let the winds and waves come crashing in on us! Job 3:25(NKJV) “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.”

I have 3 VERY powerful questions for you:

The “What, Why, How” Success Strategy

What do you really want?

Why do you want?

How are you going to get it?

Decision: Declaration, commitment, no turning back!

Goal: Where you want to be?

Now: You are going to make decisions about your commitment to these areas!

• Review the 5 Key Areas of Life and choose one area where you want to make a significant change. Choose an area that is critical for you to have your best year ever.

• Circle that Key Area

• From a Kingdom-perspective, write what your Key Area of Life might look like at the end of the year if it was your best year ever and you achieved the satisfaction level you desire.

What

We’re going to start off with the first part. WHAT do you really want?

Application

• What conscious decision can you make about your commitment to making a positive change in this area?

• WHY do you want it?

• Are you “interested”…. or are you committed?!

Decide

Think of the area you most want to focus on.

Make a Powerful Decision Application Exercise

What will you miss out on in your life if you don’t make the changes you want in the Area of Life you are focusing on? {Think of something the Lord may bring across your path….but you would not be ready to take advantage of!}

What will it cost you if you are not moving your life in the direction of your long term vision?

How will it hinder you spiritually, emotionally, financially or physically if you don’t make a change in this area of your life?

Decide

Think of the area you most want to focus on.

Determine WHAT you want, make a conscious decision, put it in writing

Connect with WHY you want it… get committed, build the desire.

Identify HOW you can achieve it and take action

The “What, Why, How Success Strategy” is simple:

WHAT

WHY

HOW

The HOW is what you do, what you say and what you think.

Why Don’t People Don't Set Goals?

Not serious, don’t want to take

action.

Don't realize the importance

Don't know what they want

Fear of failure.

Fear of rejection or criticism

Stuck on “The How’s,” of

exactly how to achieve them

This is one of the greatest single obstacles to success in adult life! Keeps you in your comfort zone. People don't realize correlation between success and failure. In fact, failure is a prerequisite to success.

God will never ask you to do something and then not give you the

ability to do it.

Scripture says in James 4:2: “You have not because you ask not.” If you’re not asking big then you’re

shortchanging yourself. You will never reach your highest potential if

you pray only small prayers.

Scripture says Philippians 3:13-14: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Reprogram your computer. Load in some new software. First Chronicles 28:20 says “don’t be discouraged by the size of the task, for the Lord your God is

with you.” He will see to it that it is finished completely

Proverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Hebrews 10:24–25-And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Can you see how these verses are just a couple of examples of how we should come alongside our friends? We can have stimulating conversations about life and business. This will encourage BOTH parties! We can encourage and edify someone else about life or business. This may be from a past failure God has allowed us to go through. Now you may realize a small part of why you had to go through that time!
