Have a Vision for Your Life


Proverbs 29:18
 "Where there is no vision, the people perish:
 but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."

       Did you ask any good questions today?  When we ask questions, we are on a mission to get an answer. We are motivated to learn and take an active role in our development. People who ask questions pick up far more information than those who glide passively through the passing years.
This is true for nations as well as for individuals. Every nation needs to have a vision of what they stand for and the role they hope to play in the world. If a nation lacks direction, it will ultimately fall into anarchy or into the hands of another nation. 
    In contrast, a country that rallies around strong ideals and values will be united and strong. It will achieve great things both for its people and for the world. In the same way, if we as individuals don’t know what we stand for or what we want to do with our lives, we can end up in a mess. Without clear direction in our lives, we aren’t likely to accomplish much. We are all gifted with talents and abilities from God. It is our job to form a vision and a mission for our lives.
    When we know what problems we want to solve with our God given abilities, we are already on our way to making great contributions. When we ask important questions, we are already on our way to becoming full of wisdom. If civilizations perish when there is no vision, the opposite is also true they will thrive when there is great vision.
    I want to encourage us to have a vision and a mission for our lives. Let us ask ourselves these questions: What would we like to accomplish? What kind of person would we like to be? How do we want to be remembered? Let us ask ourselves these questions frequently  and then live the answers 
Amen!
