Thought
If change is ever going to happen, you have to see it before you can experience it. You need a vision of what is possible. You can face the future with discouragement, fear and anxiety, or see it with the eyes of faith.
These are the two things require for any change to happen: Vision and Faith.
“Without a vision the people perish.” You’ve got to get a clear picture in your mind of reality and a clear picture of a preferred future. Until you can actually see what needs to change, it isn’t going to happen.
The second element of change is faith. You have to not only see the possibility; you must believe change is possible. You must have the faith to believe that what needs to be changed can change.
The biggest mistake we make is we set the goals too low and we try to accomplish them too quickly. What we need to do is set bigger goals and then spend the rest of our lives going after them.
What goal would require faith? What is dream you have that is bigger than you?
Nothing happens until somebody says, "Something needs to be done and I’m going to do something about it." Everything rises or falls on leadership, and it's our greatest need today.
Dream great dreams for God and then by faith set a deadline on it. Write a declaration, "This is what I’m going to do in faith this year."
In our home, our faith declaration is taped to our refrigerator where we can see it multiple times a day. It reminds us what we're really going after. It reminds us what is really important to us. It anchors us no matter what petty circumstances we encounter through out the day.
Prayer
Father in heaven, today I ask you to help me see through your eyes. Let my heart be broken with the things that break your heart. Help me find the right path. I surrender my will to yours and look for your leading…for your Love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth. Guide me in your truth, and teach me. Increase my faith. Give me courage to never compare myself, never stop learning, and never give up! In Jesus Name, Amen.
