Vision

Forgive me, I took these notes from a sermon a few months ago and am just now getting to them.  Unfortunately, I do not remember who gave the sermon….my bad.  So, if you know, let me know because I like to give credit where credit is due.

“the clearer the vision of your life, the fewer the options”

As long as the vision is general then it is not helpful in making decisions.  The clearer and more defined vision you have the easier it is to make decisions based on your vision.  What do I want life to look like in 3, 5, 7 years?  Nehemiah served as a cup bearer before taking further steps toward his dream, his vision for his life.  Visions sometimes begin as a burden.  Nehemiah’s burden was to go rebuild the walls and he based decisions off of that.  Though, sometimes our visions need to be altered.  Our “me-focused” visions get thrown out the window to make room for some even bigger “God-focused” visions.  So, how is your vision?  Are you making decisions on your clear vision?
