Where There Is No Vision by Dr. D. James Kennedy
“Where there is no vision, the people perish …” Proverbs 29:18
“Where there is no vision, the people perish …” Proverbs 29:18
Do you have a great vision for your life?
Do you have a purpose in mind, a purpose in heart that comes from a vision that inflames your heart with a blue-white flame?
Or do you simply live your life because every morning you wake up again and there you are, having to endure just one more miserable day?
I believe we need to have vision for our lives, dreams to reach for, goals to accomplish. As we develop vision, we discover purpose for our lives. If we lack vision, says the Bible, we perish. Though we may not die physically, we become part of the walking dead who view life as having no meaning.
Vision gives significance, value, and meaning to our very existence. If we want our lives to have significance, then each of us needs to take hold of a vision and pursue it. And as Christians, we need to seek God’s vision for our lives.
We are not free to choose our own; we have been bought with a price. We have a Master and Lord to serve. And our Lord has clearly described His vision for us: reaching the world for Christ.
How does God envision fulfilling that goal through you?
If you lack vision for your life, pray that God would reveal to you His vision for you. Ask Him to show you how you fit into His overall purpose: to spread the Gospel to those who need to hear it. Then adopt His vision for you as your own.
