More Joy In July - Goals

Jul 7

Hello! And welcome back to another #Dosesofuniqueness

In today’s #MoreJoyInJuly edition.. I wanted to share with you a few things that have been bringing me #MoreJoyInJuly

Devotional-

This devotional from the Bible app called “Transformed” by Rick Warren is fire 🔥!!! The devotional talks about goals-topics ranging from what type of goals does God bless, three things you need to do to reach your goals, how goals can bring you closer to God, reminds us that we are working on our goals God is working on us, how goals help stretch our faith and the list goes on!! It’s a great devotional, check it out!!

I was always told that comparison is the thief of joy!

This season I am comparing my yesterday to my today! How can I improve, how can I believe and trust God more, how can I be a blessing to others... instead of creating unrealistic, non intentional goals based off comparing myself to others.

“The major cause of stress in your life is worry. You worry because you wonder if you will have what you need when you need it. But anytime you expect other people to meet your needs instead of God, you’re going to be frustrated and disappointed, because nobody can meet all your needs. Only God can meet all your needs.

If you want a cure for stress, you need to learn to look to God to meet your needs.

Some people find their security in their job, and when they lose their job, they lose their peace of mind. If God loved you enough to send Jesus Christ to die on the cross, don’t you think he loves you enough to take care of every other need in your life? Yes! Of course he does.

Every time you start to get stressed out, you need to pause and say, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1 ESV).

God’s going to provide. He’s going to take care of you. Instead of stressing out, you need to look to him to meet all your needs. “ Rick Warren -Transformed Devotional
