Purposeful Target

 You must set goals. Goals are like spiritual targets that greatly increase your ability to focus. Lift your hearts visions up to Him in prayer and He will give you clear goals that will give your arrow a [purposeful target]. Sharpened focus in this area is time well spent. Know that it is by His Spirit that your targets will come and know it is by His Spirit that you will hit those targets. Brainstorming in prayer is getting out your creative paints. Get them all out on the table with all their color. Lift up your ideas to Him in prayer and He will give you your creative targets. Sharpen and exercise this activity and you will greatly increase your capacity and capability for more.

Activity without sharpened wisdom is a waste of time. There is a time and a season for everything. Free time and time before Him is important. But learn to manage your time and the currency of your life. Spend what He has given you well and He will give you more. Peace is a position and posture of great power. Clarity comes from its center. Those who abide in His peace are free from fear and can clearly receive signals from the mind of Christ.

You are coming into a season of adjustments. Assess, clear and clean. Orderly ways must replace the cluttering confusion of disorder. Aimless arrows always sin and miss the mark they were intended. Clean and organize. He is a God of order. Meaningful patterns and order bring peace and creates beauty. Simplify and clarify your targets. It makes it easier to see and hit your purposeful targets.

1 Samuel 15:22 ... And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
