1 Corinthians 9:26<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>
Paul went to the Colosseum of Rome to watch sports. As he writes this, he has in his mind two sports: \u201cboxing\u201d and \u201cracing\u201d. He is saying: \u201cIf I\u2019m going to run, I need to know where I\u2019m going; if I\u2019m going to throw punches, I want to hit!\u201d What\u2019s the lesson? YOU MUST HAVE GOALS!

Goals give you direction.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI therefore so run.\u201d Paul knew where he was going. You can\u2019t live your life focused only on what happens today. You need to know where you\u2019re going: this will help you to stay focused and strong and to not give up.

Goals give you purpose.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI therefore so run, not as uncertainly.\u201d The purpose of running is to win the race, not just to run the race. Ask yourself this question: \u201cWhat do I want to accomplish, and what am I going to do to get there?\u201d For example, if you want to help people, but don\u2019t have any goals, you\u2019ll never help anyone. Instead if you say: \u201cI am going to mow five people\u2019s lawns and I\u2019m going to give half of what they pay me to that single mother and her children\u201d, you now have purpose in your desire to help others. That is what goals do.

Goals give you a sense of accomplishment.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air.\u201d Paul realized that he wanted to fight, not just throw punches in the air! The head of the US Special Operations Command Admiral Bill McRaven gave the best piece of advice in the University of Texas commencement graduation ceremony: \u201cIf you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. \u00a0It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another.\u201d Do you have goals in your life? if you don\u2019t, start small and grow from there.

Here are some Goal Ideas:
<\/strong>\u201cI will stay pure, because I want to marry the right person.\u201d
\u201cI will do my homework and study hard, because I want to graduate and learn as much as I can.\u201d
\u201cI will listen to preaching from true Fundamental Baptist preachers: like Tom Malone, Jack Hyles, John Hamblin, Jeff Fugate, etc.,, because I want to be a better Fundamental Baptist Preacher.\u201d

Don\u2019t live to live, get goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
