Hi, my friends, welcome to day 12 setting clear goals
So Proverbs 16 3 says commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established
So as we think about pursuing our dream, we need to set clear goals
We need to know where we're heading, you know asking God to help you create those goals or those
Milestones so we can make sure that the progress that we're taking or the actions that we're doing are in
Alignment with where we're heading, you know when we are clear about our direction
it helps us to create a roadmap for success and
God's desire is for us to be intentional with our plans not to be chaotic not to be
Reactionary but to be proactive with him and he promises to guide us as we commit our work to him
So today let's take some time to write down some smart goals related to your dream
Ensuring that your goals are clear and actionable, you know smart goals
We talked about that and invite God into your planning process
You see it's not just that he wants to be there in the beginning for the dreaming stage
he wants to be there every step of the way and
Then ask him if these goals are from him or from you and then even ask go deeper
Like what's the why the why behind these goals so it helps motivate you and fuel you
You know
we talked yesterday about the discomfort that you can experience in change and so when you're really linked into the why behind your
Goals, it can help you push past resistance
And then most importantly just commit your goals to God like do it for the right reasons
You know not to just achieve something or to you know
Be comparative or competitive with somebody else but really commit your goals to him to bring him glory
You know to utilize your strengths and giftings for his purposes and it says in his word that he will
Establish your plans in his path that he has for you
Okay, my friends so the activation for today is what specific goals do you want to achieve related to your dream?
Remember that your dream is like this journey in this destination and your goals your miles are the milestones
Along the way and then your action steps are the little steps in like mile
Miles that you take to get there and so you want to be clear that you're heading in the right direction
With each of these milestones and that you start and just focus on the first one and then write down
these goals as smart goal smart again is
specific
measurable achievable
Relevant time bound that's the smart definition for goals
And then that they align with your dream and so ask God again like what does he have?
What is his will for you?
What is his plans that he has related to this dream and then clearly mark them out?
So, let me pray for you today
God I just think you that you are a God of order that you created, you know
Your earth you first separated light and darkness and then you created the land and the water before you created animals and nature
And so God like you as co-creators with Christ Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit
God I just pray that you give my friends like clear
direction for the goals and
Milestones you have in this big dream adventure that they're doing with you and God that they would align with your purpose for their life
Lord, I pray that they would commit their plans and desires to you and trust that you will guide them in
Jesus name
Amen. Okay, my friends
We're on see you again tomorrow, and I hope you have a great day
