I was having dinner the other night with some friends and the subject of helping the needy came up. My friend got real excited as he began to layout this plan to feed the nation. He started breaking down how our government subsidizes the farmers and how we have silos of grain rotting and going to waste.
I mean he was really into it. He had carefully thought through everything he needed to do to accomplish his task. It was pretty intense. This guy had a plan and a vision.
That reminds me of a scripture;
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
Let’s talk about that. You see if you don’t have vision, or revelation from God then your life will be out of control. If you aren’t in tune with God’s purpose, or his laws then you will spiritually die. But if you are in tune with God’s vision for your life and with his purpose and you let them guide you, then you will thrive.
You see God has created us to have a vision in life, to have a purpose for life. But it’s his vision for us, not our own. Do you feel like life is going no-where? Do you feel like your constantly spinning but getting absolutely no-where?
If so, you may want to have your vision checked. Are you in tune with the leading of the Holy Spirit? Are you listening to the guidance of God?
You see God created us to thrive, to overcome, to be more than conquers. If those things aren’t happening in your life, then maybe you’re going blind.
How’s your vision?
