Word of the Week: Goal, part II

What is your goal for your soul?

I got sloppy about my soul last year. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit it, but I didn’t do some of the things which normally refresh my relationship with Christ. I was the one who suffered most from the absence of those things. I wasn’t as refreshed and joyful in Christ as I might have been. I know simply resolving to do more alone won’t cut it. So, I’m working even now on a plan for personal renewal with Christ in 2018 - reviving and renewing those things which help me most to know him best.

It’s no surprise, is it? It involves regular reading of the scripture, more consistent prayer for myself and others, and some times of solitude away from the distractions which make us all unfocused. I’m going to give this plan to a friend who checks in on my soul regularly so we can revise and revisit the goals and the challenges.

God was very faithful to me. I enjoyed the Lord’s favor in unique ways in 2017. But I also missed out on even more! How was your soul in 2017? What’s your plan moving forward? Can one of us help you?

In Him,

Don
