Deuteronomy 1:36   ³⁶ except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his descendants I will give the land on which he set foot, because of his complete fidelity to the LORD.”

We set goals for ourselves, but the only way we will realize those goals is if we stick faithfully to the plan. The more we stray from the path the longer it takes to reach the final outcome. We slide back, we lose focus, and sometimes we even give up. While it may be difficult to keep the goal in mind and consistently discipline ourselves to follow the right path, it is essential if we wish to achieve the best results.

God promises to bless our faithfulness. The more completely we can put our trust in him and follow his ways, the more likely we are to see God’s promises become reality. God gives us a vision for our future. The path may be difficult. There may be many hurdles to overcome. It will require discipline and faith, but if we can put our faith completely in God, God promises that we will see our vision become reality.

Hold fast to God’s promise, stick to the path, trust God to lead the way. We will reach the promised goal.

Lord, we put our trust in you. Guide us on the path so that we might reach your goal for our lives. Amen.
