WHAT IS YOUR VISION?

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 (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.
A poet wrote: 'Two men looked through prison bars, one saw mud, the other stars.' What do you see in your future? 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 thought through us, Jesus told His disciplines, '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.
