Goals Set…Avoid Shrinking- Believe, Be Saved

Goals Set...Avoid Shrinking- Believe, Be SavedBut we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. (Hebrews 10:39 NIV)

Goals

Forward Friday! Missed you all Wednesday! This week has been action packed. We’ve been in Texas as one son attended TCU’s baseball showcase- prayers he’ll reach his goals. Timing was great to move our college boy into Texas A&M, a goal he’s worked hard to achieve. Goals are key to achieve success. When applying God’s Word and His purpose in our lives, goals seem unreachable. God’s ways are not ours and His thoughts are higher than ours…it’s exciting when stepping up faith to understand God’s thoughts and ways. He promises to not withhold any good gift for those taking their faith serious.

Confidence

I am confident as hot as it’s been in Texas, I want no part of hell. We had baseball sessions in four different locations within a 2 day period. It rained during one session and then 25 minutes north of this location, the air was so thick, it felt like sitting inside an oven. One goal I want us all to set- is to die to self daily and live for Christ- to keep from heading any direction towards hell. Self-will is free choice and loves to fulfill selfish desires. We’re all tempted, yet, God promises to provide a way out of every temptation. Instead of turning away from sin, many times we choose to keep sinning. If we have succumbed to sin- we have ignored every effort The Holy Spirit has spent on nudging with Truth. Conscious decisions are made in the flesh zone. Decisions are made within based on type of fuel we run on. Do we settle for cheap or high performance?

Moving Forward!

Moving forward, we answer the above question to know if we’ll shrink or not. As hot as societal confusion is right now- only becoming worse, unless Christians will stop shrinking back. Hebrews 10 is full of golden information about sin. If we deliberately keep on sinning, dismissing God’s Word, trouble deepens. We have to be able to stand, avoid shrinking and not be destroyed. Are we people who believe and are saved or shrink and be destroyed? Dear friends, please take this serious. Let’s move forward taking a hard look at choices we make- how they reflect will determine if we are shrinking back or being saved. Time to set goals? Be encouraged!
