Philippians 4:8 NIV — Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Yesterday we focused on setting goals for our body by focusing on the spiritual aspect of goal setting. Today, let’s focus on our minds.

Tony Robbins, author of many self-help books, said, “Whatever you focus on is what you get.” In other words, whatever you choose to think about is what will shape your decisions. How can we set a spiritual goal for our minds? Our featured scripture directs us on where to turn our attention — scripture.

I encourage you to set a spiritually grounded goal to keep you focused on Christ. If you do not already have a daily devotion routine, pray about a time each day you can meet with God and focus on reading scripture, devotion, and prayer. If you are already in the practice of a daily devotion time, perhaps you can set a goal of memorizing scripture. Pray about God’s direction for you and ask Him to guide you in making a spiritual goal for growing your mind.

Let’s pray. Dear Heavenly Father, guide and direct me as I set a spiritual goal to grow my mind so I may become more like You. Help me to stay focused on You and Your love. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
