Where your treasure is, there will your heart be. Your heart will pursue anything that you consider to be important. For your heart to pursue the right things, you must treasure the right things. You must have godly desires and godly goals.
A spiritual goal is any specific Christ-centred target you set for yourself. The Lord said in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” God’s Word is filled with what is right and good, therefore reading and learning the Bible is a good place to start and a good place to stay.
A spiritual goal does not depend on people or circumstances beyond your ability or right to control. It is a goal that depends on God’s grace and the help of the Holy Spirit. Although people may let you down, you can still fulfil your godly desires. When your desires are of God, His grace and favour abounds towards you.
Holiness is a spiritual desire. Walking in love is a godly desire. Knowing the will of God is a godly desire. Serving in the house of God is a spiritual desire. Sharing the gospel with others is a spiritual desire. Set these desires as goals to pursue. Seek these first and all other things shall be added to you. When your ways please the Lord, He answers your prayers before you pray.
When your heart is in the right place, God’s will becomes your will. His thoughts become your thoughts. His ways become your ways. If these are your treasures in 2019, then your heart will be in the right places this year.
