Goals

There is a thought that as we have goals in our lives we are made by nature to fulfill these goals. If this is true how can we use this in our lives. Goals then find a way to make our lives work or not work depending what goal is before us. Practical goals such as being faithful to a job, managing money, being a consistent prayer and daily bible reading are good. I've come upon three spiritual goals to motivate my life. The Lutheran catechism says the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forevermore. I believe that this goal can address why we are here. Another goal I have is to touch lives with God's goodness. A part of touching lives is to pray for others. As I pray in secret, I watch for God to reward openly by His working in the lives of family and friends. When deciding for the early church what needed to be taught, one focus was to avoid fornication. The last goal I have for myself is to keep myself unspotted from the world. Truly blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. As I apply these goals I focus on God in a consistent way and I can now define my life and what I am truly about.
