Our Vision – While it is Day!

16 03 2015

IMG_0160We need to be energetically at work for the One who sent me here, working while the sun shines. When night falls, the workday is over. For as long as I am in the world, there is plenty of light. I am the world’s Light.  John 9:4-5 MSG

We are so thankful for the opportunity that comes with a new day, a new week. Vision, goals and plans continue to be on my heart and mind. The Lord is so faithful to provide inspiration, ideas and resources to point us in the right direction. Our Heavenly Father provides “God ideas” that compel us to move us forward. We may feel a little unsure if it is the right idea but if God has put it on your heart it is time to step out on faith. Do the research, collect the information, make the call, and register for the class. Do something that moves you closer to your goal. I heard one minister say that if we make the initial steps the idea starts moving toward you. You begin to hear about opportunities. God sends people in our path to make the needed connections. It does require action on our part. It requires us to step out on faith and to do it now. Time continues to march on and it seems that things are moving at even a faster pace. We have “to be energetically at work” doing the work of the Lord, while it is day.

Carpe Diem

21 05 2014

Wtimee must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.
John 9:4-5 NLT

“Carpe Diem” is a Latin phrase that is often translated as a directive to ”Seize the Day.” It is a motivating term for me to maximize my time and effort during the opportunity that the day has to offer.

This passage in St. John is a response from Jesus to the Disciples about the urgency of our work here on earth. It gives important reminders about our existence:
• Our assignment is given to us by God. As our Creator, He knows our purpose and our God-given assignment that is consistent with His word.
• We must be focused and move with urgency to fulfill our tasks.
• We have limited time to accomplish our work.

We want to be focused in our thinking, in our attention and mindful of the opportunities to serve.  Approaching this day, I want to focus on advancing my God-given assignment on behalf of the ministry of Jesus Christ.
