Topic: Keys To Conceiving Vision For Living [29th August 2018 Daily Devotional]
Scripture: And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Acts 9:6
Thought For The Day: A person who lives without a sense of purpose lives without profit.
Previously, we saw what visionless-ness can do in the life of a person; we saw that a life without vision is a life without a future; a person who lives without purpose lives without profit; the lack of vision equals the lack of urgency; a life of no vision is a life of no wisdom; a life of no vision is a life of no action.
It is important to know that knowing these tragedies that befall a visionless person is not enough but living a life of vision is necessary.
Therefore, how can one conceive a vision for life?
i) Ask God in prayer to fill your heart with the reason for your existence
This is a situation where a person asks God, ‘O Lord, why am I alive? What do You want to do with my life? What do You want me to be doing right now? Fill my heart oh! God with the reason for living.’ (Habakkuk 2:1-3).
ii) Live with a sense of purpose daily
Do not wake up and not know what to do until the day is over. Do not let a day, week or month go without achieving anything. Itemize what can be done to move your life forward spiritually and otherwise (Psalms 90:12).
iii) Disconnect from visionless people
There are many people who are going nowhere and they want you to go nowhere with them; disconnect from such visionless people. Love everyone but do not keep the association of anyone going nowhere (1Corinthians 15:33).
My counsel is, live with a sense of purpose; ask God to reveal who you are to you and pursue it. Disconnect from visionless people.
Remember this: A person who lives without a sense of purpose lives without profit.
