Topic: Goal Setting [Teens’ Open Heavens 30th, March 2018]
Memorise: The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness: but of everyone that is hasty only to want. Proverbs 21:5
Read: Proverbs 6:6 (KJV)
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Bible In One Year: Judges 1-2, Luke 7:1-30
MESSAGE:
Our God is a God of goals. When He sets out to do something, it is because He has a goal in mind. He also expects us to do everything we do with a goal in mind. He expects us to set goals and work hard to achieve those goals.
What is your goal for this school session as pertains to your grades? How do you want your parents to perceive you? Do you want them to see you as a good child or as a bad child? Those who don’t set goals just keep taking actions without any reasons behind their actions; no wonder most of them end up in disasters they were not expecting. You should live your life purposefully. Set goals for yourself and make sure all your actions are gearing you towards the fulfillment of your goals. This way, you will watch your actions and only do things that are profitable to you, and no one will be able to deceive you into wasting your time or misbehaving.
Action Point: Before you make any decision, ask yourself, “how does this decision help me in the fulfillment of my set goals?”

Hymn 2:
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
4.But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
