Vision - What God Sees for Me (2 of 4)
Series: A Fresh New Vision
Lenny Ports
We began a new sermon series last week called “A Fresh New Vision” because I believe God wants us to begin to see things the way He sees them for our lives. One of the points of last week’s meeting was taken from Ephesians chapter 1 where Paul prays for the church that “the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling.” In other words, God wants to give us new eyes that are filled with the revelation of what God is speaking to us, what the direction that we are to be walking in is, and the glorious future that He has for our lives. We are not to live in our past, or to live now for what seems right for us, but we are called to live in the VISION of the exciting things that God has in store for us, all that He has planned for us. When we use the term calling: it means: to bear a name or title (among men). So you don’t have to be in ministry to bear His name and carry His authority!
Your calling could be to work a secular job, to be a stay-at-home mom, to be a professional athlete, or a full-time student. God could be calling you to be a better father or a more obedient child. All of these things have a calling aspect to them because by definition the word calling means to bear a name or title. No matter where you go in life, your calling is to glorify Him with your life.
1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
The point is we want to fulfill God’s plan for our lives, so our calling could be to be the best athlete or the best executive or the best coach or student not for our ourselves to receive the glory but for CHRIST TO RECEIVE ALL THE GLORY FOR IT.
The future that God sees for you is the vision that God wants you to have for your future.
God is all about vision. That is why the first thing He does is SAVE US! It gives us a vision of destiny and destinatio ...
