Where there is no vision…the people perish….
The Book of Proverbs says that where there is no vision, people perish. A vision is something we see in our minds, “a mental sight” as one definition puts it. It may be something God puts in our hearts, or it may be something we want to see happen and have prayerfully submitted to God. A vision for our lives involves the way we think about ourselves and our future.
I’ve noticed that some people are afraid to believe for something good. They think they may be setting themselves up for disappointment. They have not realized they will be constantly disappointed if they don’t believe. I feel that if I believe for a lot and just get half of it, I am better off than I would be to believe for nothing and get all of it. I want to encourage you to start believing for good things. Believe you can do whatever you need to do in life through Christ. When you believe, it stirs up faith in your heart, and faith pleases God, bringing you closer to Him.
Avoid having an “It will never happen” attitude. Let your faith soar. If you’re not sure how to do that, start by taking an inventory of your thoughts. What have you been thinking and believing lately? An honest answer may help you understand why you have not been receiving what you have wanted to receive.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me believe for good things and trust in Your vision for my life. Help me surrender my fears and embrace faith in Your promises, amen.
