Mile Markers - My devotion time today made me aware of the importance of goal setting, short term and long term. These goals will help to guide me and give me a clearer picture of the road ahead. Just like mile markers on the highway give a picture, in bite size pieces, of just where I am on this trip, short term goals help me stay focused and motivated without being overwhelmed.
I find it easier to begin a journey of 600 miles by focusing on only the first 125. If my goal is to get off the road and walk around a bit at 125 miles, there is immediate gratification for me. I get to rest and stretch for a bit, giving me a fresh perspective when I climb back into the car. It is the same for any major undertaking I am going to tackle.
Now, as I continue to walk with Jesus on my journey to overcome this food stronghold, I am encouraged when I only work on today. Taking this one day at a time makes it easier to keep on target. Today is the only day that I have any control over or say in. Yesterday is done and tomorrow never arrives. Sounds like a plan to me.
Scripture encouragement for today is from Philippians 4:13, 19 "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Grace 'n Grins,
