Thoughts from T&T
Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision the people perish, but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
Sometimes I feel like my vision is only as far as the day I am living in, because at those times I am just overwhelmed with being busy. Then there are times when my vision may see as far as months or even longer. However, isn’t it
interesting that happiness in this verse isn’t in the vision. It is easy at times even comfortable to work acheiving your vision for your future, because we all know that will secure us and make us happy. The scripture here though says happiness rests in keeping the law. When I read this all I could think is, what does keeping the law have to do with my vision and how is that going to make me happy. Okay here it is plain and simple. The law was established by God for guidelines for living. There was a test one time where children were sent out to play on a playground without a fence, the children all stayed to the middle of the playground to feel safe. Then children were sent out to play in a playground that was surrounded by a fence the children ran and played all over the entire playground. The feeling of the kids was that the fence was their safety net. God provided for us boundaries for our guidance, our safety, our happiness. My visions for my life are necessary for my future. God wants us to set goals spiritually, at work, in our families and so on. In all of our goal setting though we must remember there are boundaries. We aren’t free, for example, to set a vision that would take us away from our comittment to Him. So go dream, have visions, and freedom ...all within the boundaries of His love.

"Dr. Stanley’s earliest childhood memories are of God’s support during the difficult circumstances following the death of his father. Through the counsel and example of his godly mother and grandfather, he learned to trust and obey God’s Word. At the age of fourteen, Dr. Stanley received a clear call to the ministry, which later led him to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, and a Bachelor of Divinity degree at Southwestern Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He then earned the degrees of Master of Theology and Doctor of Theology from Luther Rice Seminary in Atlanta. Always practical, Dr. Stanley often says, "I feel I cannot honestly tell you how to believe Bible truths, and put these truths to work in your life, until I have first let God work them into my own life."'

This week we get to celebrate an observance that has nothing to do with food!!! (What?) About time. This week is "cousins week". A time to honor the family member that can be as close as a sibling or as absent as that crazy aunt that we all have. The bond that cousins share is truly unique. So, if it has been awhile since you spoke to your cousins...do so this week. If you already have a great relationship with one or more of your cousins, tell them how special they are. Have a great week everyone!!! | | Copyright Gospel Communications International, Inc www.reverendfun.com |
