Faith Resetنموونە

Have you ever set a big goal? Maybe that’s to make a sports team, get into a dream college, or find your first job — only to feel stuck or unsure of what’s next? Goals are important, but as followers of Christ, we’re called to approach them differently than the world. Instead of just chasing our own desires, we’re called to align our plans with God’s purpose.

But what does this mean and how can we do that?

Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." This highlights the importance of setting goals ourselves while also relying on God to lead us in the right direction. When we trust and commit our goals to God, it doesn’t mean they’ll automatically happen the way you imagine. Rather it involves placing our faith in His guidance to shape and develop us along the way.

When you align your goals with God’s will, they go beyond just personal success. They become opportunities to grow in faith, serve others, and glorify Him. So, before you take your next step, ask yourself: “How can this goal bring me closer to Jesus?”

Prayer: “Lord, I dedicate my goals to You. Help me to trust Your plans, seek Your guidance, and honor You in all I do. Shape my desires to align with Your will. Amen.”
