WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 18
“Fix your gaze directly before you.” Pr 4:25
NIV
BE
SINGLE MINDED (2)
It doesn’t take much effort to let your mind drift
and dream. But it takes great effort
to set your mind to the task of developing a clear goal, of having a clear and
compelling dream. One leaders says: “For me the whole process begins with questions
I must ask myself. The dream is always rooted in the dreamer, in his or her
experiences, circumstances, talents, and opportunities. I ask: ‘What am I
feeling—what are my emotions telling me? What am I sensing?—what is my
intuition telling me? What am I seeing?—what is happening around me? What am I
hearing?—what are others saying?—what am I thinking? What do my intellect and
common sense say?’ A clear picture may come to you all at once, in lightning-bolt
fashion, but for most people, it doesn’t work that way. Most people need to
keep working at it because a clear dream is worth fighting for.” If you can get
a clear sense of where you are, what you know, and what you want, you’re well
on your way to understanding and embracing the thing God put you on earth to
do. Moses spent the first two thirds of his life figuring out what God wanted
him to do, trying to do things his own way, only to fail. But he had a heart
for God, and a vision from God, and eventually he succeeded. And you will too!
