Vision

God just reminded me of the blog that basically started off the year for me!

God said this would be the year of Salvation, but a few things had to happen first!

How have you worked towards Holiness this year? How have you been going getting all the crap our of your life? How much more discipline have you put into your time and devotion into getting to know Jesus better through prayer and study of His word?? (You can't be like Him if you don't know Him!)

You might like to re-read my blog from January (http://discipleinthemodernworld.blogspot.com/2007/01/year-of-salvation.html) now that the end of the year is starting to approach, and re-visit what God wanted us to set out and achieve in 2007? How has your 'new years resolutions' been going - if you made any?

We should regularly re-visit 'mission statements' or the vision we have for projects etc often to make sure we keep true to what we are doing. Soldiers - we should often re-visit our 'Articles of War' and make sure we are keeping to our life covenant. It is so easy to loose track and loose vision with all the distractions that are placed on our path.

William Booth set out a list of things he dedicate himself to, like read no less than 4 chapters of the Bible a day, avoid babbling and idling talk, etc, but most importantly read over his resolutions everyday or at least twice a week - why, so he didn't forget the commitment he made.

If you find yourself wondering why you are doing what you are doing - go back to the start and remember the call and passion of what you were called to do, if you never had the passion or don't know why you're doing what you do - then ask God where you should be!

“Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!
Genesis 11:5-7
