So, how can we make sure that God is at the centre of our goals in the new year? Here are a few tips:
Pray and ask God to reveal His plans and purposes for your life. In Psalm 37:4, it says, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." By seeking and delighting in God, He will reveal His plans for your life and guide your steps towards His will.
Look for ways to serve and love others. One of the greatest commandments is to love our neighbours as ourselves (Mark 12:31). By focusing on serving and loving others, we can better align our goals with God's will.
Spend time in God's Word and allow it to shape your goals and decisions. In Psalm 119:105, it says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." By studying the Bible and allowing it to guide our actions, we can ensure that our goals and decisions are in line with God's will.
Surround yourself with people who will encourage and support you in your walk with God. In Proverbs 27:17, it says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." By surrounding ourselves with believers who will hold us accountable and encourage us in our faith, we can stay focused on God's plans for our lives.
By making God the centre of our goals in the new year, we can be sure that we are living out His purpose for our lives and glorifying Him in all that we do.
