“But forget all that–it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NLT.

VISION- its what God intended each of us to live with. He even said that if we don’t have vision we would die. About 20+ years ago while at a prayer retreat, I had another kind of vision. It was the face of Jesus like he was peering through the ceiling. He spoke these words to me, “Keep your eyes on me! I will direct your steps.” I’ve had plenty opportunities to focus on what was going on around me. For someone with A.D.D., distracted is a way of life! I believe that our focus determines our direction which determines our success. When my focus remains fixed on Jesus and I follow closely behind him, the road he makes for me will be a road I would not have seen or chosen had I gone alone. Love that about the Lord. My journey is always new, exciting and adventuresome. 

Trust me when I say that keeping my eyes on him has been an adventure! He does not stand still for long. 🙂 God is an active God. He never changes, but he’s alive and moving. He’s everywhere we are, a present help in time of trouble. We need Him to refresh our vision, to show us the direction to take, to stop trying do it alone. He’s like our G.P.S., our navigator, mapping out the road we’re to take to get us quickly to our destination. Some of us would get there much faster if we’d stop and ask for direction instead of wasting time and energy running in circles.

Father, enlarge my vision. I think so small sometimes, limited by my surroundings, my abilities and what I see. I must see what you see and go where you tell me to go. I must stop waiting for everything to be perfect before I move. I must trust you more. You have indeed ordered my steps so that wherever I go, whatever I do, I may glorify you. Like David, I see that giant that is taunting your people, dead and defeated. I see us chasing our enemy and taking their spoils. You have made me victorious in the battle because I are armed with your blood and your Word. I declare victory! I declare more than enough! I declare wisdom! I declare your reign as King of kings and Lord of lords today and forever.
