Elbert Hubbard says, “Many people fail in life, not for lack of abilities or brains, or even courage, but simply because they have never organised their energies around a goal.”
I like to read about and learn from people who have organised their energies around a goal. Let me just mention two, the apostle Paul and Peter, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples.
The apostle Paul wrote many letters of the New Testament and in one letter to the church of God in Corinth he writes, “So we make it our goal to please him, …” That means to please the Lord Jesus Christ. (Second Corinthians 5:9)
Peter is writing to Christians who lived in the northern part of Asia Minor and he says, ” … for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” (First Peter 1:9)
