Here for what?

Where there is no vision, the people perish:
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

The poorest in our midst may not be the brother or sister without a cent. It may not be that which the world have marked as poor based on worldly standards. The poor in our midst is he/she who lacks a vision and dream. When men lose their dream or fail to identify and connect with it, they lose their purpose and when purpose is lost, hopelessness sets in and our existence becomes a target to be tossed by the elements. No child of God is born without a purpose, we must diligently find this out personally and pray for strength, wisdom and longevity to fulfill it. To be without a vision is to wander aimlessly in life, becoming a wandering generality and an object being tossed to and fro with every circumstance of life.

Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)

What is life all about? what is the purpose of our life for? For all the labor, struggles, pursuits, achievements and accomplishments, what do these amount to? What are we here for? May we find, pursue and fulfill our purpose in Him that created us, Amen.

Be encouraged,
