Godly Goals Keep You from Drifting
“Therefore, we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.”
Hebrews 2:1
January 3, 2021
Ponder This
Have you ever written some God-given goals to keep you from being a drifter? Without goals, you’re a ship without a rudder, a compass, a sail, or an anchor. What kind of ship is that? One that is doomed for failure. Most people don’t plan to fail. They simply don’t plan. How can you tell whether or not your goal is a God-given goal?
- Have you prayed over it and asked for God’s blessing?
- Does it create in you enough spiritual enthusiasm and excitement to see it fulfilled?
- Does it demand the very best in you?
- Does it touch every area of your life?
No area of your life should be out-of-bounds from God.
Practice This
Take time today—or surely this week—to seek God about the goals He wants you to set for your life. Write them down and think even of a mission statement focused on the following areas of your life: spiritual, physical, relational, intellectual, and financial.

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
