What Is Your Vision?

Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no vision, the people perish..."

In order for both nations and individuals to function well, people must know God's ways and keep his rules. In order to have a good vision we must focus on God and His ways.

Yesterday I ask my congregation about their vision for themselves and our church. I ask them to write it down and think about 10 years, 5 years, 3 years, and today.

Many people have dreams and many have a vision of just what this or that should be but few take the time to write down what they are going to do to fulfill that vision.

I ask each one to write down 5 things for both themselves and their church and then to write what they are willing to do to see their vision becomes a reality.

Perhaps it would be good for you to take time to do the same. You may be amazed at how many ideas you have and how little you are willing to do to fulfill them.

I laugh sometimes when people have a vision for so many things to be done but desire is for someone else to do it. Perhaps the ole saying “put your money where your mouth is” could apply here. In other words get alone with God and see what he wants YOU to do to fulfill the vision he gives you.

Proverbs 29:20? Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him?

We used to take $100.00 mission pledges each year and most families you could bank on them having bake sales, yard sales etc. to fulfill their vision. Then, we had one family that would be the first to jump up and pledge but you never counted on it because they never did the work necessary to complete their vision.

What is in your heart today, what visions do you have? Now, what are you willing to do to see these take place?

Ecclesiastes 9:10 “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”

Remember:

If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed some of my emails, you have missed a laugh or an uplifting word. But, if you have missed knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, you have missed everything in the world.

1John 1:9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
