GOD-VISION

We need God-vision.

We need it in any and every sphere of influence God has given us.

Vision doesn't simply mean making a list of things you 'hope' happens someday - things you want to do.  Those are called goals.

Vision comes from God - spending time with Him - listening - reading His Word - worshipping Him - getting His heart inside you.  Everything else is a to-do list.

How do you know the difference between what comes from God and what comes from your own pen?

How do you know the difference between what comes from God and what comes from you?

- God-vision comes from being with God -- a to-do list comes from being with you.

- God-vision requires faith -- a to-do list requires human planning and administration.

- God-vision imagines the future -- a to-do list predicts the future.

- God-vision stretches your faith -- a to-do list stretches your resolve.

'God, help us plan with great faith.  At the same time, Lord, increase our faith to see great things done for You and Your Kingdom.  We don't want to just enjoy the past.  We want to see You use our church like never before.'

And be blessed.

This is really good. I like the clarification between knowing what's from God and what's from us. This is faith-stretching. Thanks, PK!
