Embracing His Vision

I was doing some reading, thinking and writing over the weekend and some questions came to mind. 

What is my vision in life?

What do I hope to accomplish?

Where do I see myself in the near future and in the years ahead?

I believe that we all were wired for greatness, designed for success and created for His pleasure and glory. God knew you before you were placed in the womb, He had already predetermined who you are, your abilities, weakness and gave you purpose before you were even born. But it is not always the easiest thing to understand your purpose in Him, but God has a vision for our lives that we all must embrace.  The bible states “Where there is no vision the people perish; but he that keeps the law, happy is he” – Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

Vision is the act or power of anticipating that which, will or may come to be. A few months ago I was listening to Bishop Courtney McBath’s sermon and as he preached he spoke about how God’s Vision should transform your life.  “Capture the vision God has for your life, move out of your safety or comfort zone and step into your God given vision. Having vision should transform you, stay with you and the vision should give you a reason to celebrate in everything you do.”

Honoring God should inspire you and the people you come in contact with to do better! By honoring His Vision it will transform you and stay with you. This also leads to influence, which has to do with a powerful position, title, degree, relationship or monetary value, but more importantly in God’s eyes has everything to do with your Heart’s Condition.  I’ve come to learn that a heart of excellence is one that goes above and beyond to do what is right, people take notice and it affects them.  But MOST importantly God takes notice!

So today I pray that you enter each new day with an attitude that you have a purpose greater than yourself! I do believe that God wants to position you in places that you may never have dreamed possible! So be mindful of the example you set for others, approach life with a heart of excellence, surround yourself with the best people and focus on living your best life now! We only get one! To God be the Glory.

As I think about the vision I hold for myself, I give thanks to God. I give thanks that my future is a clean slate. It is mine to plan, mine to choose and mine to live. What a freeing feeling this is! Day by day, my vision becomes clearer and my faith becomes stronger as I let go and trust God to guide me forward.

Peace and Blessings!
