The Holy Spirit spoke to me in my communion time about goal setting from His perspective versus mine. He mentioned how much we humans set daily, monthly, yearly goals which we work towards daily to achieve a project which is good for our lives in order to make progress.

However He pointed out to me two goals we should never drift from no matter what; for they are our lifeline, but we don’t place enough value on them to consistently do diligently. Proverbs.3:21 My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover your purpose. Don’t ever forget how they empower you.

We constantly fall from doing them and make excuses about why we can’t keep doing them.

The first He said was to walk in wisdom and secondly to discover our purpose in Him.The reason we have been born into the earth and our contribution to humanity that the Lord wants made known to men. It seemed simple enough I thought but He explained it required a process because before you can walk in something you have to know it well enough.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that wisdom firstly has to be sought for diligently and not loosely and can only be found if our heart is committed to the process which will of course involve time which is precious. We must not drift from taking time to seek Him daily for wisdom on what to do and then change once we receive it to do and obey it for us to walk it out in real terms.

The Holy Spirit said no excuses can change the facts but repentance when found doing it. I believe you are getting the picture here. The Lord is wanting more of our time spent with Him gaining life than seeking temporary things which always fail and fade in time no matter how wonderful they were at the beginning.

The Holy Spirit wants our hearts’ greatest desire to be coming and seeking diligently after Him. The Lord loves to be sought after. He went on to explain the second which is the discovery of our purpose which again one can never find outside the wisdom from and relationship with Him.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that Jesus said in John:5:30 that the Son can do nothing on His own but what He sees the Father do. He pointed out that most times we start in His will when we first hear but drift off into our thought on what His will is only to find out down the line we are miles off course and in a place of danger needing help.

This the Holy Spirit pointed out could have been avoided had we just checked in with Him daily and made the necessary adjustment we needed to in order to be in step with His will. He said I want you to walk in My will more than you desire it but I need to make the choice to come to Him.

This is what free will entails which the Lord gives to each human to make the choice. He pointed out that’s why He loved David because he always inquired of the Lord rather than presume on the Lord. He was a man after God’s heart and had so many answers because he asked and therefore received.

These are the most important goals we are not to drift from for they keep us in union with the Lord and in step with His will which is the greatest virtue of life in Jesus. Our reliance on His counsel rather than our discernment and knowledge. This is true humility.

So I encourage you today as I was challenged to come back to making these two goals the priority in your lives and see the difference it will make in your daily outcomes in life, moving you from shame and pain to glory and abundant outstanding results. May you be touched By the Holy Spirit today and rediscover the wells of life He has in store for you in Jesus Name. Amen.
