TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: THURSDAY, 4 JANUARY 2024
So, beloved, toset Christ-centered goals, start by seeking God’s guidance through prayer and reflection. Take time to seek the face of God, listen to His voice and discern His will for your life. Never you embark on any major task or assignment in life without the instruction, approval, and direction of God. Consider your talents, passions, and the needs of others, aligning them with the principles found in God’s Word. Ensure your goals and aspirations reflect the character of Christ. The Bible provides us with a clear example of purposeful living in Matthew 6:33:
SCRIPTURE: “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” – Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: By setting Christ-centered goals and prioritizing the kingdom of God, we ensure that our goals, plans and objectives in life are grounded in eternal significance. Whether our aspirations are related to career, relationships, or personal growth, when Christ is at the center, our pursuits become a means of advancing God’s kingdom on earth. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Christ-centered goals give your life purpose. They provide direction and meaning to your journey in life.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, let us continue to seek God’s guidance through prayer and reflection, even as we set our new year goals and resolutions.
PRAYER: Oh God, help our lives, as we begin the year, give us the grace to set goals that reflect the character of Christ. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: And may our goals and aspirations in life advance the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 16:3
