Having Discernment In Our Goals And Plans

 

How do we discern what we are to move forward in when it comes to our goals and plans, starts with looking at our motives.

 

• Is our intent one that is flowing in that which God is leading us in?
• Is our intent to accomplish that which is before us?
• Is our intent to use our talents, skills, and resources in accord with the vision and desires God has placed on our hearts?
• Is our intent to be an extension of God and serve with a grateful heart in all things? 

There are countless of things we desire to accomplish, goals we would like to achieve, and dreams we would like to see come about—all the while flowing in a life that is completely trusting and hoping in God.

 

"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, therefore I will HOPE in Him.

 

Lamentations 3:24

 

When we apply this verse to our lives daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly—as we take time to look at our motives—to see if in fact they are springing forth from a pure heart, we will find such great hope in God.
