Welcome to Help For Today. We are going to be talking during this first week of February on something that is a little bit different. We’re going to be talking about goals and how to achieve our goals.

It’s the first week of February. We’ve already done one month out of the year has already passed. And my question is, how are you doing on your goals? You set goals for the new year. How is it going?

So first, I want to talk about, in today, separation. And what that is, is a separation of different areas in our life where we need to achieve our different goals. Or we need to have some areas that we say, “This is what I want to accomplish academically.” What are you reading? What are you learning? What kind of trait or skill are you improving upon? We need to improve and have a goal not only academically but spiritually. And how we’re growing in our walk with God, how we’re reading our Bible, how we are praying, how we’re witnessing to other people.

We need to have goals not only academically and spiritually but also physically. You know, we are supposed to be good representatives of Jesus Christ. In order to do that, one of the greatest ways to do that is to physically be under control and have our body in submission, as Paul says in the New Testament. And physically, what are our goals?

But I wanna say this, that in Luke 2, 52, we have the Bible that says that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. He was well-rounded. He had all the different areas and he was growing in every single category. And so today, I wanna encourage us in our goals, the first week of February, how are we doing in all these areas?
