VISION: Living In Purpose Everyday

God gives us vision and what is necessary to accomplish that vision. God is the Source that allows us to be successful in living with purpose.

Vision is a clear mental picture of something that God desires for your life.

Vision clarifies purpose, helps establish priorities, motivates commitment, maximizes productivity, and fuels passion.

Vision is a specific desire that God has for our future. It gives us a direction to head in.

Vision grows out of a need that we see around us, something so strong we just can’t get it out of our minds. It gets into our hearts and becomes a burden for us. As we are burdened for this need, we begin to let God use us in fulfilling the cause. As we move to action, we ask God for direction to see His vision of a better future realized for this particular need. As God responds, He provides our mission, our purpose, and our focus for the year.

So, what needs are breaking your heart? What do you see around you that God wants to change? Ask God to lift the greatest desire above the rest, and see what becomes a burden you carry. Then, ask God what your role will be to see that need met or changed. When you have your mission, you will have a purpose every day.

Once you receive a vision from God for what He wants to do through you, then set SMART goals to help you achieve that vision by living with purpose!

“Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:15-16‬ ‭AMP‬‬

5 Keys to Living In Purpose

1. Remember your vision. Vision breeds purpose, provides direction, and fuels passion. When we have a vision for what God wants for our lives in the new year, reminding ourselves daily of that vision will help us to live that day with greater intentionality and with our vision before us.
2. Review your goals. Goals help us monitor our progress, so if we review our goals daily, we can make sure that we are moving toward our vision, and not wasting our days.
3. Make a list. Take time to determine the focus of the day. Decide what is most important to accomplish that particular day. Some days it may simply be a phone call that needs to be made to accomplish the next goal that moves you closer to your vision being accomplished. Sometimes, it may even be to rest, or to relax and be refreshed in your body, soul, and spirit. Every day has value, and we should not waste them.
4. Most importantly, begin each day with prayer. Make sure you take a few minutes to pray over your vision, your goals, your list, and your day. Remember how Jesus said to abide in Him, because apart from Him, we can do nothing. We actually can’t live this kind of purposeful life, except by the Spirit of God. We should, of course, pray throughout each day, but we can’t do that if we do not start the day with some time in prayer. If you want to live a life of vision and purpose, God will help you do it. The starting point is prayer.
5. Accountability - Many people will have a vision and even set good goals, but will never follow through with them. Accountability ensures that you stick to your goals. Accountability also encourages and supports you when you want to quit because you may not be seeing the results you hoped to see immediately. Accountability motivates you to finish strong no matter what! I would love to be your accountability partner.
