As We Enter The New Year, Many Believers Are Committing To Serve The Lord At A Higher Level. However, With The Low Standards Of Many Churches And Christians, A Person Should Have A Practical Way To Gauge If Their Walk With God Lines Up With The Will Of God. One Way To Measure This Is By Projecting The Following Questions Across Your Church And Estimating If It Would Survive.
Now For Short, Have The Big Picture In Your Mind. Don’t Make Your Computer, Or Your Mobile Phone For That Matter, Your Companion. Many People Use Their Computers As A Vent Or A Replacement For Friends. Remember To Guard Your Prayer Life And Bible Reading On All Costs. Don’t Substitute Internet Sermons For Church Or Fellowship. Don’t Forget The Real World You Live In.
How Wise Are Those Who Learn To Turn To God, Who Train Their Souls To Cling To God, The Source Of Life And True Joy. As Dueteronomy. 30:19-20 (NKJV) Reminds Us, Clinging To God Is A Choice Each Of Us Must Make, With Love For God And Obedience To Him. For God Is Our Life And The Length Of Our Days – More Than We Realise.
I Have Known People Who Have Been Saved For Twenty Years Or Longer But Stopped Growing As A Believer After Only A Year Or Two Because They Settled For Just The Bare Minimum Of Salvation. They Never Allowed God To Take Them On The Full Journey Of Abundant Life As Mentioned In John 10:10. Though They Have Been Believers For Twenty Years, They Are Really Only Infants Emotionally And Spiritually In Christ!
Joshua Told The People, “Consecrate Yourselves, For Tomorrow The Lord Will Do Amazing Things Among You.” [Joshua 3:5]. Look At The Nations And Watch — And Be Utterly Amazed. For I Am Going To Do Something In Your Days That You Would Not Believe, Even If You Were Told. [Habakkuk 1:5]. Repent, Then, And Turn To God, So That Your Sins May Be Wiped Out, That Times Of Refreshing May Come From The Lord. [Acts 3:19].
Is My Goal Motivated By Love? God Is Not Going To Bless A Goal Motivated By Greed, Envy, Guilt, Fear, Or Pride. Why Is It Important To Have Goals Based On Love? If You Set Loveless Goals, You’re Going To Treat People As Projects. You’ll Run All Over Them To Reach Your Goal, Whether They’re A Family Member, Friend, Or Co-Worker. 
As We Begin The New Year 2022, I Am Reminded Of Paul’s Words To Timothy, “Keep A Close Watch On All You Do And Think. Stay True To What Is Right And God Will Bless You And Use You To Help Others” (1 Timothy 4:16). Consider The Following Questions In Order To Be Proactive And Intentional About Becoming All That God Has Called You To Be. 
As The Year Comes To Attend And We Begin Dreaming, Setting Goals And Planning For The Coming Year, It Is Important That We First Take A Sincere Look At Our Lives To See Where We Are And What Needs To Be Modified, Eliminated And Changed To Become What We Desire To Be In Line With God’s Will And Purpose For Our Lives.
What Has Happened In The Past May Not, In The End, Be As Important As How We Choose To Feel And Think About What Has Happened. The Way We Choose To Treat Our Memories Has More To Do With The Future Than The Events Themselves. If We Are Consumed With Driving Toward The Goal Christ Has Held Out For Us, The Past Is Not All That Relevant. God Intends To Make Us Whole Persons By Calling Us To Take On New Attitudes, Future-Oriented Attitudes.
