It was once mentioned that reading books on vision or thinking about vision is quite a dangerous act to do at night. it can give you sleepless nights and keep your eyes wide open, and your heart bubbling with excitement.
just only from the introduction is a short abstract that i would like to share with the readers of this blog:

vision will prioritize your values. a clear vision has the power to bring what's important to the surface of your schedule and lifestyle. a clear vision makes it easy to weed out of your life those things that stand in the way of achieving what matters most.
without vision, good things will hinder you from achieving the best things.
without vision, there is no relational, financial or moral compass. consequently, they often make foolish decisions.

the above para kinda "jumped" out at me when my eyes went through them. rightaway i was reminded of the current sermon series going on- priority living. vision and priority go hand in hand. His agenda must be my first priority. i am bought at a price, the price that no one else can ever paid.

Ephesians 2:10 (New International Version)

10'For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10 (The Message)

10'Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.
