210/365: Set Your Sights Ahead

One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 3: 13b-14

Yesterday is history, so don't get caught up in what should have happened. Dwelling on the past can suck the blessing out of today.

God has moved you into this moment to reveal Himself anew. Focus on Him and His truth as a worthwhile journey and destination.

Set your goal, write it down, give it to your brothers, be accountable, lace up your boots, soak your journey in prayer, get up, and get moving.

The Christian life is similar to riding a bicycle. You have to keep moving forward or else you will fall off and get hurt. We can never live this life the way our heavenly Father desires unless we are continually growing and moving forward. That's my goal for today. LIVE BOLD.

I will continue to set my sights on loving like Jesus loves us! I will focus my attention on God and His ways, not my own! Yesterday cannot be changed so I will not dwell on it!

My one thing today is for me to slow to anger. Try to be my best to seek Jesus when my trigger starts my anger. Help me Lord to self control myself. Have a blessed day brothers 🙏.

My goal for today is to love my wife as Christ loved the church, laying down my life for her. I have never protected her from others or even myself. Even in the last eight years of being free from pornography and working on our marriage I still have often focused more on self preservation. If it ever came down to an actual life and death situation I know I would sacrifice for her but there’s all the “little” things, the chances to sacrifice my wants or just stand up for her instead of defending others

My goal today, and every day, is to honor Jesus by being of service to my family and friends. Specifically, today I'll drive my special needs son to and from work and also spend time with my wife tackling various home projects. On another note, I pray to be released from the curse of dwelling on past sins and failures. I tend to rehash those wrongdoings that I have committed and those that have been committed on me. This frame of mind distracts me from appreciating the blessings that our Lord has provided. I pray to Jesus to be delivered from these distractions.

My goal today is to love my wife like Christ loved/loves me. To listen to her. To keep my eyes from worthless things. To not repeat bad habits that make her think I value something or someone else other than her. To do the best I can to make her know she is SPECIAL to me and that I cherish her.

My goal today is to invite God into my study time and to get a couple of hours of study time towards my goal of project management certification. This is because I feel and have felt a strong shove to tweak my career path towards that. It’s something that I can be very open about my faith and love of God in my work and support many teammates so they can have maximum success. After all seeing another have success, especially if I get to be a part of that is just incredible. So help me to be focused this afternoon at study time God and help me to maintain the focus that I make this change to serve You and others not for myself or my own glory or income or any other worldly thing. Just to serve you the best I can with the way you built me. Renew me today God full of zeal and love so I may be the best version possible. The version You want me to be. I love you God amen 🙏

Goal- not to be snappy with people; be a loving husband and father; don’t stress over little things. Guide me Jesus!

Every moment of every day live so as to honor him. You see a neighbor in need go help. You see someone looking down downtrodden or glum give them a big smile or hug and tell them that Jesus loves them. Let your words and deeds always be kind, gentle and caring even if the other is doing the opposite. Ask yourself what would Jesus do in this situation.

Today like most days my goal is to be a good representative of Christ and try to make someone’s day just a little bit better. This may be a friendly word or a smile or engaging them in conversation. Many times people get to feeling they are invisible because no one noticed them. Be that person that makes them feel seen by others. Love you Jesus! 🧡💜💛💚

Specifics guys!! What one goal-to act and carry yourself in. Way that honors Jesus-what does that look like for you? For me-I will be an active listener when my wife speaks, not interrupt just to get my 2 cents in-no matter if she’s said it already. I’m going to make time to play with my daughter rather than let her play her tech all day. I will monitor my complaints and each time I open my mouth to complain, I will thank God instead for whatever it is I was about to complain! I will pray for those I get angry with. I k ow it said one goal but I need to work on all those things today to be more like Jesus!! Strength and courage brothers!

Very well said Tim! I was thinking the same for my goal for the day and then I clicked on the comments and saw yours. Keep up the good fight men! Thank you Lord for another day to work towards that goal!

Well said Tim. Praise God that He sent Jesus and blessed us with the Holy Spirit to guide our days.

My goal is to live this day to honor Jesus. To act and carry myself in a way that lets people see Jesus through me and to have the courage to speak of my love for him.
