Chapter 6:

Set A Deadline For Each Spiritual Goal

 

Synopsis

Sometimes people wonder why they are only successful in certain areas while in other areas there seems to be a lot of strife and difficulty. One possible answer could be that they failed to set spiritual goals to help overcome this negative area. A big part of not being able to achieve certain goals is probably because the spiritual guidance and element is missing.

Make A Timeline

Rejoicing in the assurance of God’s divine power of deliverance is perhaps what gives the goal that added advantage in being reached. Setting a deadline for spiritual goals is one way of committing our efforts to God and realizing without divine intervention or help reaching the goal would be that much harder if not impossible.

In order to outline a workable deadline setting, it would be wise to break the goal in question into more specific and smaller parts. In denoting the importance of each particular part, a spiritually guided deadline can be set for each step.

Having a measurable scale where each progressive step is recorded and bench marked against the overall planned goal schedule is helpful. When done in unity and understanding upon the power of strength gained with God’s assistance this can be achieved well within the time frame matted out. This is an important element because it gives the individual an indication of the success of the goal’s progress and also ensures no sense of discouragement sets in.

After addressing the above two points successfully, the next step is to actually implement the action plan drawn up to reach the goal. Making an action plan, while calling on God for spiritual assistance, will not only cause the action plan to be flawless, but will also give the individual the power of spiritual insight.
