There is no question; we are living in a goal-oriented age. Goals are good if we prioritize them. That is, if at the top of the list we have God as our main goal. Augustine said, “Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee.” Any goal achieved without God will always leave one empty and unfulfilled.
In the beginning, Adam had no goal but God until the devil came on the scene with his competitive goals. Satan subtly tempts Christians to set spiritual goals to get them to take their eyes off God. To mention a few, soul-winning, Bible reading, missions giving, etc. In Pilgrim’s Progress, we see how the devil used every means to turn Christian aside from his one main goal.
It’s true that as we run the race of life, with Christ set before us as our Goal, we may fall from time to time. But as one has said, “Some goals are so worthy, it’s glorious even to fall.”
