Mt. Sinai Missionary Baptist Church issued the following announcement on Feb 18.
“Visualize Your Future”
Experienced marathon runners visualize their whole race — the entire 26.3 miles from start to finish — before they set off. They come to grips with the race internally, in their hearts, before ever setting foot on the course.
I share that because I believe we ought to have that same overall sense of vision for our lives. Having a clear picture of what the race of life is all about, where we are heading, and what we are likely to encounter along the way will sustain us.
Proverbs 29:18 says it plainly: Where there is no vision, the people perish ... (KJV). The reality is many people don’t finish their race, simply because they lack long-term vision. So pause for a moment and reflect on this: Are there any areas in your life where you have given up because you’ve lost sight of the bigger picture?
Maybe you’ve lost your vision for life emotionally, physically, relationally, or financially. If so, don’t give up! Identify the point where you gave up, renew your vision, and go for it! God hasn’t and will never give up on you. The best is yet to come!
