"What' s your word?"

During a recent Wednesday night small group time, Vision began

to list prayer requests. Even though the specific nature of each request

was different, the theme was the same-DIRECTION for our lives.

That night, I believe God revealed to me that His desire

for Vision is to realize, or for some of us to remember,

that we are choosing direction for our lives not only each day,

 but each hour, each minute, each moment. There is no

 neutrality in the eyes of God. Time of waiting, yes, but neutrality, no.

Remember picking teams when you were a kid?? You became loyal

and determined to do everything you could to help

your team to win. You wouldn’t have given your home-run

to the other team! There were no “in between” teams

for the people who just couldn’t decide which

team to be on. Yet this is exactly how many Christians

live today. They forget they’ve already chosen

to be on God’s team. They try to be neutral.
There are also those with the longing to be on

he “winning” team, but just haven’t made that commitment.

Whether you’ve lost your sense of DIRECTION, or never had it,

either way, I have no doubt you feel a sense of emptiness.

Vision will spend 2009 with a renewed awareness of

the paths we take and the DIRECTION they are taking us.

What's your word??  Don't know yet?  We encourage you to

ask God which word He would have you choose for this year!
