Direction for the New Year!

With the new year it is great time to get direction and make right choices.  Here is a simple five fold plan to help you get started.  First, decide where you want to go.  Hosea the prophet says that without vision people perish.  As part of your vision for the future decide where you want to go.  Include God in every part of your plans.  Secondly, decide your priorities.  For me it is simple, I want to do, say and be, what God wants me to be.  Through prayer, the word, and mature counsel decide what it is important and be realistic.  Thirdly, make a plan and clarify your routes.  Know where you want to go and make adjustments through the year as you travel.  Remember you can get off course so course corrections are essential.  Lastly, enjoy the trip and see what you can accomplish for yourself and God.
