Motivation Will Get You Going

Philippians 4:13

Today’s verse is a popular one.  Athletes put it on their shoes.  Performers will quote it.  Successful people in our culture will cite it.  And there’s a reason for that: you need motivation to get you started on your goal or resolution.  Many have found Philippians 4:13 as a verse that motivates them in their health, finances, career, relationships or other endeavors.  Your motivation need not come from Philippians 4:13. It might come from some sobering words from the doctor at your physical.  It might come from your internal angst that won’t go away.  Wherever your motivation comes from, you’ll need a good dose of it to get started toward your goal.  


Questions for further thought:
1. Look back at goals you’ve accomplished.  What was your motivation for accomplishing those goals?

2. What bible verses motivate you?


Challenge: Look at your one thing from Monday.  Now, write down every motivation you have for wanting to accomplish that one thing.  Don’t judge them when they come to your mind; simply write them down.  There are no wrong answers!
