Are You Expecting?

It has been about a month since we last talked about the personal goals that we had set for 2011.  How is the progress on your plans unfolding as we move through February?  Mine is coming along surprisingly well.  I have to admit that this has been the most organized pursuit of New Years resolutions that I have ever attempted!  That’s not to say that I don’t have some catching up to do, but I have been working diligently on at least one goal in each of the various areas that I had committed to.

This would be a good time for you to take an inventory of where you are.  Dig out and then dust off the list that you made at the end of last year. Take a few moments to make a reality check on each goal and then jump in with a renewed interest and zeal. 

Hebrews 10:23 leaped right off the page as I read it this morning, and it is exactly what we need to hear  concerning the pursuit of our goals.  It begins by saying that “we must continue to hold firmly to our declaration of faith.”  (Gods Word©)  The word “faith”  in this verse would better be better translated as “expectations” .  Therefore it is really saying that “we must hold firmly to what we are expecting!”  So just what are you expecting concerning the attainment of your goals?  Do you want to end this year in victory or living, once again, in the shadows of what could have been?  It is up to you.  Hebrews 10:23 continues by stating that “The one who made the promise is faithful.”  (Gods Word©).  My foundation promises to stay faithful to His promises as I stay faithful to the pursuit of what He has called me to do.  Don’t give up, but give in to a total surrender to your foundation. Take a deep breath and then jump back into a winning stride in your race of life!  Stay tuned and keep asking yourself… “What am I expecting today?”

PS:  If you need to, go back through the blog archives from last year to review the goal process.
