Do you have a vision? 

‘Where there is no vision, the people perish.’ Proverbs 29:18 KJV 

Refuse to let the word ‘impossible’ stop you. ‘With God all things are possible’ (Matthew 19:26 NIV). If the people who’ve changed the world had left every ‘impossible’ task undone, we’d still be living in the dark ages. For example: 1) German experts predicted that trains travelling at 25 mph would cause such severe nosebleeds that the passengers would suffocate going through tunnels. American experts added that we’d need more asylums because people would go mad when they saw the first trains. 2) When the YWCA first announced typing lessons for women, there was a furious backlash on the grounds that the ‘female constitution’ would deteriorate under such strain. 3) Experts insisted that iron ships would never float and that the iron would wreak havoc with the compass readings. 4) In 1797, New Jersey farmers denounced the first cast-iron plough insisting it would poison the land and stimulate weeds. So much for ‘experts’! More of us are persuaded into believing too little than believing too much! Vision is essential for survival. It’s spawned by faith, sustained by hope, sparked by imagination and strengthened by God’s Word. It’s greater than sight, deeper than a dream and broader than an idea. It encompasses things outside the realm of the predictable, the safe and the expected. No wonder we would perish without it! A poet wrote, ‘Beware of those who stand aloof and greet each venture with reproof. The world would stop if things were run by those who say, “It can’t be done.”’ If God’s given you a vision, pursue it with all you’ve got! 

Prayer Point:

Lord, thank You that nothing is impossible with You. Please help me not focus on my limitations or measure the demands of this day against my strength, but let me, instead, stay connected to You, trusting in Your limitless resources. Amen.
