Re: Many are the Plans in a Man's Heart - 2020 Goals
FYI - just want to say that a main part of my profession is about helping people set and achieve goals. So every year around this time, I would practice what I preach and would diligently look at my last year's accomplishments, then see what I wanted to achieve in this year. (by the way, the Roman god, Janus, was two-faced . . . looking backward and forward. It's where we get the name for the month of January!) A very high percentage of people's New Year's resolutions fail within a few weeks, so we coach people how to set realistic goals with a good structure of insight, documentation, tracking and accountability. I was good at setting these types of goals and would accomplish a majority of them.
But last year I just gave the whole annual goal thing to the Lord, based upon the verses I shared in the first post. And you know what!? The sky didn't fall and me and my wife had a really, really good year - Praise God!!!
So I'm not advocating that anyone give up on writing out annual goals, or anything like that. I'm just relating that He is faithful! (and who knows - maybe He'll prompt me to set some goals for this year . . .)
