VISION REQUIRES GOD'S MIND AND GOD'S EYES

Vision starts with a new set of eyes and a new mind. Human sight is limited by the boundary of our range of sight. The best human eyes may see the horizon even at a great distance, but we are incapable of seeing what lies beyond the horizon.

The limitation of human sight also limits the human mind. We may be able to conceive a road map to get us to the horizon. If we don't believe we have the resources to get us there, however, we may not set out on that journey. Or we may chose a destination that stops well short of that horizon, satisfied that we have moved forward instead of pressing on the gain the prize.

Romans 12 reminds us to be "transformed by the renewing of our mind." We let God reshape our thinking and understanding. We let God introduce his thoughts into our thinking. And then we commit to think like God instead of asking God to think like us. We begin to dream the big dreams of God and see how God wants our vision achieved. Both our thinking and action step out of the box where we now reside and head for the promised land beyond the horizon.



So when you ask God to transform your mind and give you a new set of eyes, what fo you dream of seeing for the Kingdom?
