Instead of rushing to pursue a goal, I take my time to talk with God
about it. God realizes that striving to achieve comes as naturally as
breathing. When a goal grabs my attention, my instinct is to “go for it,”
without really thinking it through. I invest a lot of time and energy in the
endeavor –only to later realize that it was the wrong pursuit. But when I first
take the time to discuss matters with God, I experience much more satisfaction
and better direction.
There are many benefits to walking with God – before, during, and
after my quest. The Light of His Presence illuminates the pursuit so that I may
see it in His perspective. As my perspective becomes more aligned with His I
gain a growing desire to please Him. This desire produces benefits far beyond
the task at hand: it deepens my relationship with Him. If I discern that my
pursuit accords with His will, then I can move forward confidently. As I work
collaboratively with Him I continue to communicate with Him about what I am
doing. When my goal has been achieved, I thank Him for His help and guidance;
rejoicing in what we accomplished together.
