Do you have a vision?

In proverbs (I don't remember where), it is written, "Where there is no vision the people cast of restraint". Without a clear vision or direction for our lives there is no point to press on, no reason to discipline ourselves. Without a dream in our hearts we end up just plodding along in life, going wherever the current takes us.
Let's dare to expect more than that out of our lives. If you have a dream in your heart, that dream most likely came from God. It is not only your dream, it is His dream that he has in His heart from the day you were born. Don't let that dream die. Bring it to the Lord, do all you can in your power to make the dream a reality, then let God do His thing with it. Don't be surprised if he takes you on a path that makes no sense according to human wisdom. It may even seem like he is leading you in the opposite direction. But take heart, so long as you are walking close with the Lord it will be alright, even if it takes years for the dream to become reality. He has to prepare you, make you ready to receive the blessing that he has for you. If he gave it to you right away you would fail miserably. Be thankful that he has a process. Trust the process, He knows what He's doing.
