Be Thou My Vision!!!

The past few weeks, I have been rather lax in my postings, I realize. Our church has been challenged to seek the "vision" that God would have for the coming ten years...

What a challenge! I have spent countless hours praying not only for the "vision", but also a true unity in that vision corporately. The verse found in Proverbs 29:18 that I alluded to a couple of posts back keeps reverberating in my mind..."Where there is no vision, the people perish..."

I have often kind of meandered through life, as if no care for the future, because I know who holds tomorrow, but if I am not seeking what He has for me am I just wandering aimlessly?

Our meeting with the whole congregation was smooth and unified...praise be to God! Now, we must put those ideas and plans in to action. Pray that we will continue seeking His will for His church! And, I also challenge you to seek what God's vision is for you in the coming days, months and years. Take the challenge and you will be blessed!

Please let me know if you have a special prayer request I can word on your behalf today!!!

Walk worthy...

Ephesians 4:1-3 "I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called (2) With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; (3) Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

Today, I was touched by this passage of not only looking inwardly, but making sure we stay unified for the cause of Christ.

May we always be mindful that the works which are accomplished are not because of what we have done. When we get too caught up with what WE are doing, that sets us up for a fall. Our time in prayer and in the Word is a necessity for spiritual growth. If we are grounded on true foundation, there is nothing we can't do through Christ (see Phillipians 4:13).

May we not take for granted our relationship with God. When we try to build human relationships, spending time with one another is key...building a relationship with God is no different.

Make time today and everyday to spend in prayer and in study...you won't regret it!!!
