Have Goals

‘‘Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves.’’ Ecclesiastes 4 verse 5

The generation we find ourselves in is a bit dynamic. We sometimes, find ourselves following the crowd and saying trendy things that do more harm than good to us. For example, we say things like we continue to grind. But, to what end? There should be an end before a means.

Due to societal pressures to quickly make it or afford everything we want. For some, it is to fit into the crowd. I am not ignorant that some desperately need a means of survival. In all this, we need to learn to take a pause and ask ourselves really important questions.

Why am I doing this?

The writer in Ecclesiastes did a study on the life of man. He talked about a man who kept working so hard, struggling. He never stopped to ask himself “Why am I working so hard?” He had no family. No friends. He had misplaced his priorities and only realized that late in life. He was filled with regret.

God wants you to be hardworking. He hates laziness. He always rewards the faithful. Remember the story of the talents Jesus told His disciples. The last servant was rebuked because he did not put to work the talent given to him. What he had was later taken from him and given to the most faithful.

Folding your hands is never an option.

Pray about your life and receive God’s template. Write the vision and make it plain. Paste them somewhere you can see them. Run with it, leaning on God’s grace. Stay faithful in that which He has called you to do.
