Is your destination clear?

Have you forgotten your destination? Personal growth requires a clear vision of who you are and where you’re going.

Have you ever forgotten where you parked your car? I have. Forgetfulness is like a virus that affects your life. My wife’s words echo each day: “Honey, have you seen my keys, my phone, or...?” She forgets stuff all the time, and so do I.

Have you ever struggled with your memory or maybe even a loss of overall life direction? Every morning, I wake up quite early, grab a cup of coffee, and read my Bible. It’s a habit I’ve chosen, and I’m committed to it. Psalm 119:105 tells me, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

This morning as I read Habakkuk 2:1-5, I realized that forgetting is quite normal, but God has an answer. I discovered these three steps that I believe will help you grow and reach a good destination:

1. Get a vision. Without a vision for your life, business, finances, family, or health, you will get lost. God has a plan and purpose for your life.
2. Write it down. I’ve always used this as a technique in counseling. Writing forces our minds to become clearer.
3. Share the written vision with others. Counselors, pastors, friends, or family can help you refine and even facilitate it. John Maxwell says it so well: “Teamwork makes the dream work.”

God is making a promise to you today that He will help you grow and develop a clear vision. You will know where you are going and will discover how to get there. God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life because you are a miracle.
