Old Testament Bible Verses for Setting Goals

?Resolution vs Goal....WhyTerry Soucie 2/24/19Resolution: a firm decision to do or not to do something.?Goal: the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. Goals?provide a direction to follow to achieve desired outcome.?Goals involve intention setting, planning, preparing, and taking REALISTIC action.An important first step is to understand the distinction between a resolution and a goal. A resolution, as the name suggests, is a?resolve?or determination to do something. While a resolution is useful in providing?a long-term picture of where you want to be, your goal(s) are the calculated steps you need to take to achieve this?resolution. The best kind of goal is one that is SMART:?Specific: the goal should?have a specific purpose and focusMeasurable: the goal should be able to be measured to monitor its progress and effectivenessAttainable:?the goal should be challenging for your business, but achievableRealistic: the goal should be realistic within your meansTime bound: the goal must fit within a time frame?For example, your resolution might be to increase profit. Clearly increasing profit is a great step forward for a business, but telling yourself you want to increase profit is not an effective target to strive toward. Instead, you could set a goal to achieve a 7% profit increase since last financial year by June 30 of this year. Unlike a resolution, this goal you have set yourself is SMART.?So as you start planning for the new year, remember that although making business resolutions may seem like a great idea, it’s important to break?these resolutions down?into?SMART goals to get you where you want to be in 2016.20?Bible?Verses To Think on When Setting Goals?“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”?Philippians 4:13?“Take delight?in the?Lord,?and he will give you the desires of your?heart.?"?Psalm 37:4?“But the plans of the?Lord?stand firm?forever,?the purposes?of his heart through all generations.”?Psalm 33:11?“It is better to take refuge in the?Lord?than to trust in humans.”?Psalm 118:8?“In their hearts humans plan their course,?but the?Lord establishes?their steps.”?Proverbs 16:9"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
