It's Time to Take Action
You can accomplish the dreams God has placed in your heart, but it will take discipline and determination to do it. Most of the time, plans fail for lack of vision, preparation, and action. The Bible tells us to, “ Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run” (Habakkuk 2:2, MSG). When you can see the target, you’ll know what you’re aiming for. It’s the same with vision. Once it’s written, it will become a foreshadowing of what’s to come.
Preparation is a key ingredient to reaching your vision. When you prepare, you will be ready for the opportunities that present themselves. You need to make sure you prepare your heart, your mind, and your plans. Spending time with God, reading His word, and also creating goals are three ways to get ready for what God has for you. When your heart is right, mind is set, and plans are made, you will take great strides forward.
When you’ve written your vision, disciplined yourself in preparation, it’s time to take action. Without moving toward something, you’ll end up in the same place. You must take steps forward. James says, “Faith by itself isn’t enough” (James 2:17, NLT). Belief plus action is what you need to reach the goals you’ve made. With every step you take, God will be right there alongside you. When you continue taking those steps forward, you will experience the incredible future God has promised you.
