God is Visionary

One of the characteristics of the Father is that He is the ultimate visionary. Before Genesis 1:1 He had a vision of what He was going to do. This ranged from as broad as the universe to the smallest of  His creation. He also had a vision for us, His ultimate creation. His vision was that we would rule and reign, we would be people that worshipped Him and reflected His glory to creation. As we were created in his "image and likeness" we also possess the characteristic of being visionary. Having vision gives purpose to our life and purpose brings hope, for without vision we perish. We can receive vision for lifes future from God or as Jeremiah 23:16 says "visions from our own minds". The choice is ours, seeking what God wants for us or what we want for ourselves.

What is Gods vision for our future? What is His blueprint for our life? Eph. 2:10 "For we are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which He created in advance for us to do." God not only has eternity in plan for us but a vision for what we would do in this life.

We fulfill that vision by:

1. Dealing with the sin in our life that will always deviate us away from His plans to our own purposes.
2. Earnestly study God's Word that we may discern His principles for life.
3. Being a person of prayer, so that we are in continuous communication with God.
4. Being commited to do the works as they present themselves in our daily walk.
5. Being people that fellowship and seek Godly counsel from others.

As we do or attempt to do these things we will see ourselves mature and fulfill the perfect vision that God has for each of His children.
