I received an email this morning with the title "What's Your One Thing?" This email motivated me and hope it does the same for you. (See message below)
There are a lot of things you could do this year. You could get out of debt, get married, save up for vacation, or pursue a dream. While there are a lot of things you could do, what is the one thing you have to do that would literally change your life?
Paul urges us to live with that kind of focus and intentionality. In Philippians 3:13-14 he says “…forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” It’s clear that Paul lived with purpose.
God hasn’t called us to wander aimlessly, unaware of where we’re headed. We’re not supposed to be spiritual tumbleweeds that drift wherever the wind blows. Instead, God has invited us to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, to focus in the direction He’s leading.
So what is the one thing you need to focus on this year to follow God’s plan for your life? What’s the one thing that you know in your heart you need to do? Perhaps you need to…
- Break a habit.
- Accomplish a goal you have been putting off.
- Restore a broken relationship.
- Admit an addiction you have and get help.
- Pay off your debts and be financially free.
- Start a business.
- End a business.
- Support a ministry.
- Volunteer at your church.
- End a relationship.
What’s your one thing that you need to focus on this year? If you could accomplish it, it could change your life. Then you could confidently say with the Apostle Paul, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
So tell me....what's your one thing?! Mine is following through on a new hobby! Let your one thing motivate this week by taking steps to get it done.
