Vision

Sometimes we find ourselves frustrated we look at our current circumstance and long for change. Sometimes we have no idea how or when to take the steps toward change if you have ever felt this way your not alone. (KJV) Proverbs 29:18 Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he. I believe God has given each of his children a specific purpose. He has designed us to have our own thoughts, needs, and desires that can only be nurtured, fulfilled and sustained by his beautiful love. He has a plan for you! You are not a mistake! If we don't focus on Gods vision for our lives, we instead focus on our past. Good or bad its a distraction and before long we look up and rather than living Gods vision for our lives, years have passed and were in the same situation.

Some may say, "I don't know Gods vision for my life." I charge you to pray and ask him. You don't have to be super spiritual you can literally say, "Hey God, I have no idea what you have in store for me, but I want to believe you have a plan for my life. I'm sorry for doing things my way, it's not working. I understand you have made me for a purpose please show me what it is." Let your heart lead you from there. God wants to have real conversations with you, He is not just passing through. (KJV) Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Sometimes we know Gods vision for our lives but we feel discouraged and so far from our dreams. I feel this way often and have to remind myself of Joseph. He was in a pit, sold into slavery, set up, and thrown into jail all before his dream was realized! So we need to stand strong, holding on to Gods vision for our lives knowing that it will come to past.
(NLT) Habakkuk 2:3 This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

Father,
Thank you for designing us to do great things. Thank you for taking the time to have a plan for each one of our lives. Move our hearts to submit to your plan because we know that you know us even better than we know ourselves. Give us wisdom, patience and discernment, and please give us vision for our careers, families, education, marriages, finances and health. In Jesus name, amen.
