A FOCUS SPIRITUAL GOAL

What do you think is the most tragic thing that can happen to a person?

Some may say:
..... when one becomes unemployed...
..... when a loved one dies.....
..... remaining single....
..... unable to have a child....
..... when a newborn is discovered with defects...
..... unable to sleep....
..... when one discovers he/she has terminal cancer....
..... one's health getting weaker and weaker...
..... the loss of eyesight....
..... got paralyzed after a tragic accident....
..... and so the list goes on....

To tell you the truth, even if you find yourself in one of those above situation, that is NOT the WORST that can happen to you. Do not lament if your find yourself caught in the above seemingly tragic situation.

Nothing is more tragic than to discover that one does not have a spiritual goal in life.

Without a spiritual goal in life, you have lived your life IN VAIN.

Why? All the hours of your life have been wasted because you had so far only lived physically.

However, all physical living will pass away, as in our health, our jobs, our families, our money, our hobbies, and yes, even this website, etc.

Only what is spiritual in God remains and has eternal value.

For the remaining hours of your life:
Ask God to grant you the privilage of knowing Him.
Receive a spiritual goal from God.
Focus on your spiritual goal.

Not any kind of spiritual goals, but a FOCUS spiritual goal.

Paul has ONE focus goal:

ONE THING I DO: I PRESS ON TOWARD THE GOAL TO WIN THE PRIZE FOR WHICH GOD HAS CALLED ME HEAVENWARD IN CHRIST JESUS. (Philippians 3:14. )

My beloved friends-- set this goal before you from this day onward.

It is not easy to know what we should do in this life. I have goals, but hard to know whether theyare "spiritual"

It's good to see that this topic is sparking up some interest.

My friends, make it a point to pray about your questions in this coming week. When we are sincere in our search, God will answer, far more than you realize.

To have a spiritual goal is one thing. To have the determination to pursue is another.

But in not having a spiritual goal, we have not even started living yet.
