A Vision for your Life

Sunday, January 4

Some of us may feel like we have no vision for our life at all. We’re drifting, reacting, just trying to get through life. Others of us do have a vision, but it may be unclear, incomplete, or even in conflict with God’s purposes. We know what we want, where we’re going, and how we plan to get there. But our vision may be shaped more by ambition, fear, or trying to stay in our comfort zone, rather than following Christ. Whether we have no vision or the wrong vision, the problem is the same: our hearts need to be aligned with God’s vision for our lives. And that’s exactly what the apostle Paul prays for in Philippians 1. From a Roman prison, he shows us how God changes the heart so that our vision becomes aligned with His purposes. In the apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians, he expressed his joyful gratitude and pastoral affection for them and prayed that they would grow in following God’s vision for their lives. We can choose to follow God's vision for our lives.
