Spiritual Goals in 2017

Today, the final day of this year, is the day to set spiritual goals for 2017.
The real goal is to grow more in love with Jesus throughout the year.

• Prayer - plan a time and place each day where you can meet with the LORD. talking and listening to Jesus in an undistracted setting
• Bible - read God's word each day will feed your spiritual muscles; I have read through the Bible each year for more than 20 years and it keeps me on solid spiritual ground; biblegateway.com has Bible reading plans for reading through the New Testament in a year or the whole Bible
• Serving - using your spiritual gifts by serving others causes you to grow spiritually and depend upon Holy Spirit. Romans 12:6-8, I Corinthians 12:8-10 & 28, Ephesians 4:11 and 1 Peter 4:11 list some of the spiritual gifts. Be intentional about serving others in 2017.

Each year I write out my spiritual goals, commit them to the LORD and to a friend.
Finish 2016 strong with a desire to grow more in love with Jesus throughout 2017!
