Eph. 2: 10 - 'For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'
There are 3 critical questions in life that we must all ask and answer for ourselves. This definitely has to happen if we are to be saved through to the end. Matt. 24: 13 says, 'He who endures to the end, the same shall be saved...' If this is going to happen, allow me to ask you these critical questions:
1. Where do you want to be? In other words, where are you going? Where are you trying to get to in life? Do you have goals that you're trying to reach for your tomorrow? This is critical if you are going to last in the Kingdom of God - one of the tragic stories of mankind is that of a man/woman who wanders aimlessly through life!
2. Who do you want to be when you get there? This journey called life is more than just the destination, it's also about the type of person you're becoming on your way there. What type of person will you be, tomorrow?
3. How are you going to get there? So you can see, vision is two-fold...not only is it a Picture...IT'S A MAP! First of all, you must have a vision, and in order to make that vision live...you must walk it out...
For example...you wish to gain employment on an Executive level...praise God for that, but HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GO ABOUT ACCOMPLISHING THIS? Don't just talk about it....walk it out!
In order to answer these questions, you must realize that there are things you're gonna have to let go, and other things you must hold on to! Change has to be included in your life's diet. Whatever decisions you make in order to go and be what you wish...can God sign off on it? Would God write His signature on your tomorrow?
Don't you understand that God already had a plan laid out for you? However, will you allow God to put His hands on you and fashion you for His purposes...or would you rather wander through life, pursuing your own desires only to accumulate things that never matter to God, and eventually won't matter to you?
Ask yourself these questions...set up a plan in God's will, and pursue it with all your heart! To be in God's will, you have to be in God's presence! I'm telling you, if you learn these 2 things in life, they will definitely get you underway...
1. Learn to let go and let God
2. Serve Others, considering them before yourself
These 2 things kinda remind you of the 1st 2 Commandments don't they? Jesus told us to hang all of life on them...give it a shot...you may be surprised by the results!
