What are some tips for goal setting in 2009?

In this short video (3:10), Ron shares his perspective on the value of goals and the process of goal setting for the New Year. His challenge is to pray, read the scriptures, set goals with your spouse (if married), and set quantifiable goals. Asking God to lead you as you set your goals for 2009 can open your eyes to the work that He is doing in your life right now. As always, Ron’s encouragement to you is to go back to God’s Word to restore your faith.

Philippians 3:12 – 14 (NIV)
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But 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.”

Colossians 3: 1-4 (NIV)
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, Who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

II Peter 1:3-4 (NIV)
“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.”
