Vision

The Bible says without it (vision), the people perish. I've been talking vision with my wife this morning.  It' is hard to deal with folk who lack a vision for how great their lives, work space, etc. could be with a little God-vision. God is the creator. He spoke everything into exsistence out of nothing. He knows the plans He has for each of us. He sees the beginning and the end. And if we are His children, we ought to be like Him when it comes to haveing a creative vision of what could be. We have to see a better life. We have to see overcoming. We have to see ourselves better tomorrow than we are today. I'm not talking about having a "name-it-and-claim-it" worldview. I'm talking about the power of positive thinking filtered through the Word of God. I'm talking about dreaming dreams. Master's Commission Clarksville was birthed out of a vision to see God impact the Young Adult community of our city. Since it's formation in 2006 we have since shifted a small group into a Young Adults service. We have planted a small group Bible study on APSU. And we are on the way to the Next Level. Why? Vision. Are we there yet? No. We've got a long way to go. But I believe in the vision for Next Level Young Adults Ministry and MCC, and more importantly First Assembly of God. I was  a part of a Road Rally that a good friend put on in our church. Why was it successful? Vision. My friend had the ability to see how great the event could be. It had never been done before. But that didn't stop him. And God made it work. God is opening doors for my good friend Johnny Kelley to ride a bike across the country for missions. How did it happen?Vision. I could go on and on. I'm going to start a new prayer emphasis in my own life. I'm going to pray for bigger vision. I'm going to pray for those I know lack a God-sized dream. God give us eyes to see.
