 How Would You "What does the Bible teach

Passions, Strengths, about setting goals?"
and God’s Calling
for Your Business
Were All Perfectly The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that
Aligned? includes making plans, yet doing so with wisdom and humility.

Paul urges us to live with that kind of focus and intentionality.

Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one
thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and
reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press
toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus.”

Proverbs 6:6-11 says,

“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her
bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.
How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise
from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of
the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.”

Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.”

Wisely setting goals leads to better results:

“The plans of the diligent lead to profit” (Proverbs 21:5).

humility.
James teaches:
“Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will
go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on
business and make money.' Why, you do not even know
what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a
mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes”

and God’s Calling The Bible teaches against two extremes:

The balanced alternative is found in James 4:15:
Instead you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live
and do this or that.”

 It is good to make plans, as long as we leave room for God

to change our plans.
 His goals take precedence over ours.

Proverbs 16:9 says, “In his heart a man plans his course, but
the LORD determines his steps.”

In other words, we have our ideas and make our plans, but
God will ultimately accomplish His sovereign desires.
 Do our goals make room for the unexpected?
 Do we love God’s will more than our own?

about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself”
(Matthew 6:33-34).

Our goal-setting need not be accompanied by fear.

If our plans focus on Christ and honor Him, He will see to it

that the best results—the eternal results—are ours.

 Proverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the

countenance of his friend.
 Hebrews 10:24–25-And let us consider one another in order to stir up
love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so
much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Can you see how these verses are just a couple of examples of
how we should come alongside our friends? We can have
stimulating conversations about life and business. This will
encourage BOTH parties! We can encourage and edify someone
else about life or business. This may be from a past failure God
has allowed us to go through.
Now you may realize a small part of why you had to go
through that time!
