All The Places You’ll Go

May the LORD . . . grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.

Before a ship sets out on a long voyage, the captain needs to plot the course. This includes choosing the route, setting the schedule, determining the places to stop, and deciding on the responsibilities for each crew member. By planning ahead and setting attainable goals, the captain seeks to ensure that the ship will stay on the right course and arrive safely at its destination. The same principle is true for you. Goals help give you direction in life, and setting small, attainable goals is necessary to determine your course. When God is your captain and companion, you will stay on track and succeed. Ultimately, he promises to safely guide you to your final destination—the Kingdom of Heaven in all its glory and perfection.
