How to Set Goals With God

DAY 3 OF 7

Day 3: Build a God-Centered Plan

The people of Judah often placed their trust in alliances and idols rather than in God. Jeremiah reminded them that true security and success come from reliance on the Lord. Similarly, when building your plans, center them on faith in God rather than on human wisdom or resources. This verse contrasts the person who trusts in human strength with the one who relies on God.

It was part of Jeremiah’s warnings to Judah about their misplaced confidence in alliances and idols, rather than trusting in the Lord.

The people of Judah were facing threats from powerful nations, yet their survival and flourishing depended on trusting God rather than their own strategies or political maneuvers.

Know this: God wants to provide us with stability and hope beyond imagination. Building a God-centered plan requires patience and intentionality. Schedule your goals, reverse-engineer them, and create benchmarks. Surround yourself with a supportive community. Remember, your goals are not just for you but for His glory and the betterment of others.

Prayer Prompt: Lord, I place my trust in You. Help me to center my plans on Your guidance and truth.

Focal Point: Plan diligently but remain dependent on God’s guidance. Trust His timing and wisdom.

Key Objective: Create actionable steps for your goals while seeking God’s input and being flexible to adjust as He leads.

Action Step: Develop a 90-day timeline of practical steps needed to make progress toward your goals. Pray over each phase of the process.
