Vision Vs. InVision

Vision is important, but Inspired Vision or InVision as I call it, is far better. Hitler had a vision that produced monsterous results. Marx's vision of Communism when carried out by Lenin also had a tragic outcome.

By contrast, consider the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Their vision of a free people, living in a democratic republic governed by a constitution, has lasted over 200 years. The USA has been responsible for the spreading of freedom around the world. Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and Adams had a vision that was inspired as you can see by their writings. They gave credit to the Creator who endowed us with rights.

InVision does not come easily and is not "free". Those who want it and pursue it have to pay a price. It was InVision that kept Washington going through the winter at Valley Forge. The vision of a free people. InVision is not for the small minded; it is for the bold, who have open eyes, open hearts and open minds.

Jabez - A Man of InVision

I Chronicles 4:10 NKJV
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,"Oh that you would bless
me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that your hand would be with me,
and that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God
granted him what he requested.

Jabez was a man of InVision. This brought him more honor than his
brothers (I Chr.4:09). Jabez, whose name means pain, was determined to
not cause pain to those around him or himself.

Inspired Vision, or InVision as I call it, led Jabez to ask God for

help. He wanted to have a larger territory and to achieve a higher
destiny than his name would give him. Greatness comes easy to some by
virtue of the name they are given or by the name of the parents. Jabez
wanted to overcome his own name.

InVision is a requirement to the one who wants to overcome and succeed.
We must overcome our propensity to think less of ourselves and our
abilities. In order to do that we need to see things from God's
perspective. Jabez went to the source of vision and help, to achieve his
goals. In doing so, he overcame his difficulties and exceeded his
goals. Jabez succeeded when he submitted himself to God, kept himself
from evil and trusted in God's power.

The Big Picture

Vision is inspiration given by God to accomplish great things for God. With InVision (Inspired Vision), we see that God has prepared us to do good works (Ephesians 2:10) and that He will empower us to reach our destiny. With InVision, we can see the "Big Picture".

What you are doing now might not seem that big, but it is part of a bigger plan. Whether it is working 9 to 5, watching the kids or scrubbing toilets, don't lose sight of your purpose in life. Get inspired! Ask God to open you eyes to His "Big Picture" for your life and then stay focused on the your current responsibilities with that vision in mind.

Give it all you've got! Whatever you are doing now, do it with all your might and glorify God!

Welcome to InVision

InVision is the name I have given my new blog. I believe that Inspired Vision will lead you on the path of wisdom and understanding towards success. I have found that Inspired Vision is a gift from God. The Bible is the manual for receiving inspiration and vision; examples of the successful are found within. I hope that this blog will encourage you to find the treasures that can be found in God's Word.
