What's your vision?

'Where there is no vision, the people perish.' Proverbs 29:18
When problems arise, our vision is often the first thing to hit the chopping block. That's because we don't see life the way it is, we see life the way we are. The Bible says: 'Where there is no vision the people perish' [live unharnessed and undirected]. When God gives you a vision for your life, you begin to see things as He sees them. Moses 'saw' the Promised Land when everybody around him saw only wilderness, wanted to give up and return to Egypt (See Hebrews 11:27). And He understood that he'd get there on God's schedule, according to God's plan, one step at a time. Many tasks seem overwhelming when you look only at their size. But when you break them down into small steps and visualise yourself taking the first step, you're amazed at your progress. You can do something for a day you wouldn't commit to doing for a month; ask any recovering addict! One Christian leader says: 'Vision, like courage and discipline, is a trait that can be developed by anyone willing to work hard at making it part of their every day life.' The poet wrote: 'Two men looked through prison bars, one saw mud, the other stars.' What do you 'see' in your future? Do you think God's just going to drop success into your lap? No, you must energise your vision through faith and give it momentum through hard work! The Scripture, 'We have the mind of Christ' (1 Corinthians 2:16), suggests that God thinks His thoughts through us. What an advantage! Jesus told His disciples, 'Launch out into the deep' (Luke 5:4); as God's child, the world's limitations don't control your supply! So, what's your vision?"
