Helen Keller was blind and deaf. She was once asked: "What is worse than being blind?" She answered: "It's having eyes, but no vision."
It's amazing what she achieved during her 88 years of living as a blind and deaf person. However, if she hadn't had an inner vision for her life, she probably would never have achieved what she did.
You and I are in the position that we can both see and hear. We're blessed with physical sight. But do we have a vision for our life? Do we have a goal and a "mission", so to speak? Or are we just floating through life on a cloud of luck and fortune and hope for the best?
Moses prayed in Psalm 90:12, Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. He knew that our days are numbered. We don't live forever on this earth, and it's important that we spend each day in pursuit of the goal that is set before us.
What's your vision for your life? What legacy do you want to leave behind? What do you want to present to Christ when we're to appear before His judgement seat?
I have a clear vision for my life. I know what God has put in my heart to do, and I pursue that vision every day. I expect to grow in that vision and to reach my full potential before I leave this earth.
Do you have a vision for your life? Is there something you really want to do? Maybe your vision and your dream is something that seems too far fetched, too difficult to achieve? Don't turn down an idea because it seems impossible; God is the God of impossibilities. It looked kind of impossible to create what He did in six days out of nothing, don't you think? But He did it, He thought it, spoke it, and it materialized. And He has given us the same ability to 1) think it, 2) say it, and 3) see it materialize.
Our life is short, our days are numbered, but each day is valuable and each life is important for God. He has put a vision in your heart. Reach for it, go for it in Jesus' name. Pursue your dream!
