Write the Vision;

Make it Plain

Goal Setting God’s Way

by Deborah H. Bateman

Have YOU started thinking about setting your GOALS for next year?

What would YOU like to accomplish?

Have YOU prayed about it and asked GOD what He would have YOU do in the next year?

I have a few Scriptures I wanted to share with you that I think relate to GOAL SETTING or what some might call, at the first of the year, making New Year’s Resolutions.

Habakuk 2:2-4

2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

A good way to get started setting GOALS may be to LOOK BACK at what you accomplished in the past year. Look at where YOU are and where YOU want to go.

What are some of the next steps YOU need to take to move forward with YOUR GOALS? You can break your GOALS up into yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and even daily GOALS.

I’m not one to have every detail figured out like some people. But, I do like to look back at the past year and see what God has done in my life and look forward to the next year to see what He will do.

This Scripture tells us to WRITE the VISION and MAKE it PLAIN. The more details we can come up with the easier it is to try to follow the plan.

Of course, we can’t plan the whole year in advance, because there will be circumstances that happen in our lives during the year that we have no idea will happen.

But, it is a good idea to WRITE down the things that YOU would like to ACCOMPLISH during the year and TRACK your progress along the way.

I do find I remember things better if I WRITE THEM DOWN. Even when I make a grocery list and leave it in my purse or at home when I go to the store, the act of writing it down helps me to remember it. I may not remember everything on the list, but I am more likely to remember more of the things I need to do or get if I WRITE THEM DOWN. So, I do think there is some validity to WRITING our GOALS down.

This Scripture reminds us to WRITE down our VISION and make it PLAIN so those who READ it can RUN with it. This reminds me of a TEAM that is working together to accomplish a GOAL. Each member of the TEAM needs to know what the goals are for the team. They also need to know what the PLANS are to reach those GOALS and what their part is in reaching the GOALS. When we work together as a team we are able to accomplish more.

This is an acronym I’d like to share with you. It is from the word TEAM.

TEAM = Together Everybody Achieves More

The next verse reminds us to stick with the VISION, even though it may take longer than expected, if you hang in there it will eventually come to pass. Things don’t always happen when we want them to happen, but God rewards those who are faithful. Sometimes it may take longer than expected, but with GOD’S HELP, YOUR DETERMINATION, and the TEAMWORK of others finally YOUR GOALS can be accomplished.

We will have a private Facebook Accountability Group where we will share our GOALS and encourage one another in reaching our GOALS for the coming year. We will celebrate each others accomplishments throughout the year.

Having people to support you and encourage you along the way is a good way to accomplish your goals. Sometimes when we try to do this by ourselves we get discouraged and give up. When we have support and encouragement we are more likely to achieve the goals we set.
