At the beginning of 2022, I began a new series called “Sunday Suggestion” and the first in that series was Go for a Goal linked here.
As many people do at the start of the year, it was about setting goals for yourself – although I hesitated to call them resolutions!
We are now nearly two months into the year and for this week’s Sunday Suggestion, I want to encourage you to review your goals.
Are you still on track, or have you let it slide? Is this something you need to pick back up again, or do you now realise (in hindsight) that it was too much to take on this year?
If you are still on course, then good for you! If you are not, then it certainly is not too late to catch up. If miss a meal due to a busy schedule, we do not give up eating altogether, but perhaps eat a little more next time!
If you missed that earlier post, or did not set yourself any goals for 2022, then there is no reason why you cannot (prayerfully) set some right here and now. You perhaps cannot claim them to be “New Year’s Resolutions” but if you think about it, 1st January is just an arbitrary date anyway. Why not start a new, positive habit on 20th February? If it is indeed positive, then there is no better time than now to begin.
In Galatians, Paul says:
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Gal 6:9 #Bible

I want to encourage you today not to give up. Press on towards your goal, even if progress has been slow up until now. Do not become weary in doing the good you need to do, instead keep putting one foot in front of the other and sooner or later, you will reach your target.
Do comment below with how things are going, and please do respond to one another’s comment with words of encouragement.

Illness and covid threw a spanner in the works of my plans to get active in my church fellowship, but today I was able to go back after the break – what a blessing it was. I hand out notelet cards with a verse and prayer handwritten in them to folk I don’t know. Today I was trying to be very specific in who they went to by His guidance, and I was overjoyed by His guidance on folk to approach me! I even got signed up for the church app today which keeps contact with folk throughout the week…excellent! Thank you for your encouraging ministry Andy, God bless you brother.

Handwritten cards/letters are a thing of the past, but it was recently shown to me that folk still valued them. Writing my three cards each Sunday morning is an act of faith in Him; I don’t know who they are for! Today’s cards had verses from Psalm 34 written in them,
