“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight

and no vision” (Helen Keller)

VISIONThe ability to see, something you imagine, a picture you

see in your mind and heart

Where there is no vision from God, 

the people run wild, but those who adhere

to God’s instruction know genuine happiness. (Proverbs 29:18 – Voice)

And the Lord said to me, “Write my vision on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to

tell the others. But these things I plan won’t happen right away.

Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it

seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!

(Habakkuk 2:2-3 – Living Bible)

MAKING GOD’S VISION

A REALITY IN 2016

“Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old

history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to

do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?

There it is!

I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.” (Isaiah 43:18-19 – The Message)

I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way . . . By no

means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal . . . I’m off

and running, and I’m not turning back.

So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want

everything God has for us. If any of you

have something else in mind, something less than total

commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—

you’ll see it yet!

Now that we’re on the right track,

let’s stay on it. Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you

see running this same course, headed for this same goal. (Philippians 3:12-17 – The

Message)

VISION PRINCIPLE 1:Stop focusing on

the PAST!

VISION PRINCIPLE 2:Start focusing on the FUTURE!

VISION PRINCIPLE 3:Stay focused

in the PRESENT!
