Proverbs 29:18 says, \u201cWhere there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When marriages don\u2019t have a vision, they die. When parents don\u2019t have a vision for their children, they are malnourished. When churches don\u2019t have a vision, they peter out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get in the Word!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God has a vision for His people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not too many years ago, I was wandering around my house wondering what on earth I was doing with my life. I felt empty, useless, hopeless, bored with no vitality or zeal for life. While health did play a huge role in my thought patterns, I also realized that I had absolutely no vision for my stay-at-home mom life. Am I surprised about how I was feeling? I shouldn\u2019t be, because Proverbs 29:18 tells us where there is no vision the people perish! Without vision, people die\u2014they are lifeless. If there\u2019s no vision for your marriage, it\u2019s going to die. If there\u2019s no vision for your family, it will be lifeless. If there\u2019s no vision for your life, it will feel pointless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you get the picture? If you\u2019ve been wandering around your house for the last several years staying busy, but never really accomplishing anything, it\u2019s time to get a big-picture vision for your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you a wife? God has a beautiful plan for marriage in His Word. It\u2019s time to catch that vision. Are you a mom? He also has a special plan for those children of yours. It\u2019s time to take a deep dive into Scripture and get ahold of His vision for your children. Are you a homemaker? There are some pretty awesome
things that can be accomplished through your home if you take a peek into the Bible and see what ideas God has for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re lacking vision this year, dig into God\u2019s Word. It won\u2019t be long before you catch a vision for every aspect of your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t live a life out of motivation, but live a life out of commitment.”<\/p>

Unknown<\/h5> <\/div> <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Live out of Commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The saying goes, \u201cDon\u2019t live a life out of motivation, but live a life out of commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, once you catch a big-picture vision for where you want to go, whether in marriage or parenting or health, you can start living a life of COMMITMENT to that vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t read the Bible every day to our children because we \u201cfeel\u201d like it, we do it because we are committed to discipling our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t cook dinner every night because we have loads of motivation, but because we are committed to feed our family a healthy home-cooked meal on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love our husbands well, not because we always \u201cfeel\u201d like it, but because we are committed to having a thriving marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You get the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And guess what?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you start doing things because you\u2019re committed to getting them done, the motivation will follow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
