Title: Write it Down
Memorize: Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)
Bible Reading Habakkuk 2:1-4 (NKJV)
[1] I will stand my watch, and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected.
[2]Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
[3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
[4]“Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.
Message:
In the course of a year, it is easy for a fellow to get carried away and lose track of his/her goals and what they really want. It’s sometimes tempting to forget about these goals to pursue something easier.
When I was younger, there were no smartphones, but I used diaries to document my goals, ambitions and aspirations.
You can write your goals on your phone’s lock screen so that they will constantly register in your mind as you look at your phone screen.
If you ever lose track of your goals, you’re automatically putting them on hold until you come back to them. Don’t lose sight of your goals in life. You can also write your goals on sticky notes and put them in places where you can see them often.
A few places to put your ‘goal list’ are: your phone’s home screen, on the bedside table in your room, on your study desk at home, beside your mirror in the bathroom, on your laptop wallpaper, et cetera. I pray that God will give you all that you need to pursue and achieve your goals this year in Jesus’ name.
Action Point
Write down two goals each for the major areas of your life and paste them in the places mentioned above.
HYMN 6: I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY
- I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
- My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground. - Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground. - I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song, while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground. - Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
