We like to set goals to evaluate and measure of our vision. I shared our goals for next year on yesterdays post. I kind of struggle with goals setting - one - because it's just numbers and it only partially measures lives being changed - two - because I know God can do way more than what we shoot for. Eph 3 says that God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. I know that. I've seen that. I believe that. So, as we set goals, there is part of my mind that is setting what I think are reasonable goals, but the other half of my mind wants to set supernatural goals because God is big. Last year, we set goals, prayed, work hard for God, trusted God and our goals became reality. I wonder if would have set bigger goals, if God would have granted them as we seek Him. I wonder if God looks at us and wonders...is that all. Okay but I was thinking something bigger. Last year we set a goal for 500 baptisms over the next 5 years. That seems like a huge God-sized goal right now. But I know as it gets closer, it won't seem too big but God can do more. So, I am struggling between being realistic and trying to have big faith.
