IDEAS THAT WORK

NEW BEGINNINGS


That’s what we think about this time of year. What are your goals physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally? Consider sitting down with a pen and paper. Ask the Lord what is on His mind for you.

I recently was working out at the local health club and noticed a posting from one of the members. She is a woman in her sixties. In addition to her workouts at the health club, her physical goals also included a walk or run in a competition one time each month. She either met or exceeded her goals each month.
That was an inspiration to me!

I had heard it said, “If you do not have goals, you shoot at nothing.” You have more of a tendency of moving towards your goals if you write them down. Just ideas but will you…

Physically – Join a health club? Find a walking partner or walk on your own? Sign up for a water aerobics class?

Spiritually – Set aside time with the Lord each day – not just quality time but quantity too? Read directly from the Bible? Use a new devotional? Attend a new Bible study? Learn how you can serve Him in your local church, area, or in the world? Increase your prayer life?

Mentally – Challenge yourself to learn new things? Memorize scripture?

Emotionally – Take time with others to encourage them? Accept love from others? Trust in the Lord?

Bottom Line – Seek total healing in all areas of your life? Be realistic. The Lord will give you strength to accomplish what His goals are for you.

The Lord so desires for us to have an abundant life - all unseen things that add up to total health.



John 10:9-11 …“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly…”
