Have a clear goal in life


Scriptures: When the days drew near for him to be received up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51 RSV
And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51 Douay-Rheims

Reflection: “When the days drew near……”, this was Jesus’ plan of action, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.  In other words, when the days were far from the focal point of assumption he did all that we know from scripture and much more. 
Likewise the heavenly goal should be the ultimate goal for all Christians. The goal decides the quality of our lives and decisions. Without a reasonable goal, i.e. the goal of eternity, we could end up defeated, corrupt, and lost in a maze of activities and even vibrancy, blind to the dissipation that is steeped in eternal ruin.   
Prayer:  Lord, May I always do things keeping in mind the eternal reward you have in store for us.
DD = Dedicated Discipleship:  Come grow in the Lord with us
