Just a Thought: Where are you in life's goals?

Jim Ferris
Published Wednesday, March 5, 2008 in the Gurdon Times

Where are you in your life right now? Are you where you thought five or 10 years ago you would be? Are you at a place in life that is where you thought you would be? Are you nowhere near where you thought youd be?

These questions are designed to make us think about the goals we have set and where we are in relation to them.

The Bible says, Godliness with contentment is great gain. The Apostle Paul goes on to tell Timothy about what happens to those who desire to be rich and how they achieve their goals  foolish and harmful lusts that have drowned men in destruction.

If the road to your goals in life requires you to step on others to get where you want, there us a really good chance that your goals are not Godly at all (100 percent). As Christians we are to build others as we travel down life's pathway, not tear down.

If you have not achieved what you thought you would by this time in your life, keep on working towards those goals.

Be content with the blessings of God along the way. It's just a thought ... but it could change your life.
