The Secret is in the Pursuit!

By Morgan Butcher in Deep Thoughts in Prayer in Uprising on 10/19/11

When you wake up, what vision do you pursue? This is an important question. If you are like me you’ve probably realized there are is an auto-pilot vision at work in you. Without much thinking, we start pursuing that vision that naturally flows out from someplace within us. I have realized that my inward vision doesn’t always match up with Christ’s plans for me that day. When that occurs, stress and worry become my walking partners. Here is one of the great promises Jesus gave to us…

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” (Matt 6:33)

There is a vision that Jesus wants each of us to pursue every day. It is a vision that considers the way we are wired, it leads to our best sense of satisfaction, and it promotes His kingdom at the same time. Our best way to wake up is to get focused on His vision for that day. Our life finds its best traction when we are seeking His vision above all else – the secret is in the pursuit!
What are you doing to align yourself with God’s vision for your day?  Do you find your morning’s filled with the repetition of smacking a snooze button?  Starring at a television to watch the news?  Waking up with only enough time to brush your teeth and do your hair before you scurry out the door?  Or are you taking time to focus and pursue the plan that God has already designed for your day? 

Thanks for reading,
Morgan
