Goals are powerful activators of momentum. They are resolute decisions and targets that help guide our choices and control our responses. In the absence of goals, weak and wrong choices which procure defeat, become the norm. This is because without goals, your decisions would be impulsive and
not purposeful. For example, if you have set a goal in your heart to stand strong in the midst of tough situations, your determination to achieve that goal will keep you going until you get there.

Daniel, in our scriptural text today, is a perfect example of a man that activated momentum by his goals. Daniel purposed in his heart not to deviate from that which he knew was God’s expectation of him. He was willing to die for his conviction, because he had a clear definition of his goal which was to honor and please God. By purposing in his heart, he consequently activated the momentum to follow through and reach his goal. We see God honoring Daniel for this.

Today, just as Daniel, you must purpose in your heart touching vital areas of your life and make specific goals which activate the right momentum for your achievement this year. Once you do, you would realize a surge of energy from within you that would keep you moving until the goal is realized
