What Is a Vision?
You may be wondering how you can have a positive vision that your wife can adapt to and help you with. You don’t want her to live with frustration, but you still don’t really understand what vision is. Vision is the capacity to see beyond your physical eyes into a preferred future. Vision is the purpose in pictures. Have you been seeing pictures of your dream? When you turn off the TV and computer and everything is quiet, do you start thinking of your future? Your dreams are being drowned out by your music, your phone, and other people talking.
In the Bible, whenever God wanted to speak to someone about his work, He always took him away from other people. God took Abraham to a mountain all by himself. He took Moses to the desert. David heard from God when he was out tending sheep in the hills. You need to disengage from the noise of life so you can see pictures of your future again. Purpose produces a vision, and a vision produces a plan. Once there’s a plan, it produces discipline in you. Write down your purpose and vision, and then get some pictures symbolizing that vision and what you need to fulfill it. I cut out pictures of my dream and put them where I could see them every day. I would say, “That’s what I’m going to do.” “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21). I have shared this Scripture often because I want it to be emblazoned on your heart. God’s purpose for your life is already established; He’s not worried about your future. Whatever you were born to do is already finished in Him. Cease worrying about it, capture His vision for your life, and start making plans to go there.
Amen!!!
