Vision 2020 came to mind recently during my bible study time but instead of just being what God intended for our church this year it flowed into something else.
I started thinking about what 20/20 vision means….to have perfect vision. Over the past seven months God has been trying to help each of us to have perfect vision. To see ourselves, our families, our church, and our nation through His eyes. He is working to bring into focus all the areas that are not in alignment with His plan and His will…to expose those high places, our own selfish desires and goals that have not been given to us by Him. He is bringing to light our lack of trust, faith, and obedience to follow Him regardless of our circumstances.
The question is….when we see those areas clearly and the fog of everything meant to distract us is driven away what will we do? Will we allow everything He has shown us about ourselves, families, church, and nation to go unchanged? Or will we take the opportunity to purge out everything not meant to be there in the first place.
My prayer is that at the end of this year…and we look back at 2020 we will do so with His perfect vision and see what all He has brought us through and all that He has done for us. He is always so very good.
