'My People Parish for Lack of Vision'

If there is one thing that my youth pastor and best friend instills in me frequently, its keeping the vision alive.

What do we have without vision? Without vision, we wander aimlessly in the abyss that is this world. We aren't sure of our future, but live life day by day, hoping things get done and end up ok. But if you keep a vision alive, keep it real to you, attainable to you, a never ending goal to you, you will never stray lost and never turn from what you know to be right.

Right now, my vision is to keep life moving forward so that mine and my girlfriends future will be seamless and a smooth process. So many people go into things so unprepared. They lack the wisdom that is surely needed in order to progress and profit in their endeavors. The Lord says His people parish for lack of vision. Jumping into things on a whim is not wise, mainly because its probably not apart of your overall vision. If it were, you would have studied that situation further and realized all possibilities before taking on such a task.

Vision is the driving force of my life. If I didn't have future goals, then why would I care to be in the positions I am? Why would I be in a relationship with a beautiful, talented, amazing and Godly girl? Why would I be in a position of leadership in my youth group? If I didn't share the same visions as my leaders, then it would be pointless for me to continue with what I am doing.

Keep the vision my friends. Figure out what you want the overall picture of your life to entail, and seek after it like a ferocious lion, never stopping for anyone that tries to stop you. But always stay wise in your decisions, because all it takes is one bad decision to completely derail the plans you have put in place to reach your vision. Never stop, and never waiver.
