New Year's Goals

2 Corinthians 5:7
This is a new year and a lot of people have made New Year’s resolutions and set all types of goals. 
 

• I’m going to pay off all of my bills – I will pay off the credit cards that I ran up over the holidays.
• I’m going to lose weight.
• I will spend more time with my family.
• I will strive to get a better job.
• I will spend more time in the Word of God.

People set these goals and many others, but will we reach those goals?
 
This is a new year; this is a new beginning, but we don’t know what lies ahead.  We can’t even see past right now.  We don’t know how this week will end, let alone how this year will end. 
 
We may not know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future.  In order to step confidently into this New Year we must “walk by faith.”
 
Actually, stepping out on faith - that’s one of my goals, to do the things that I feel in my heart God wants me to do.  I’m talking about a faith walk, where we walk by faith and not by sight, where we trust God, sometimes in spite of what it looks like.
 
Maybe I don’t see where I’m going, and I can’t see the future, but I’m going to walk by faith.
 
As we go forth this year we need grab a hold of that verse and look at it.  Trust God with your goals, trust God with your future.
 
 I pray the Lord will help us to walk by faith.
