Vision Board

Vision Board by Lisa L. Trujillo

By Lisa TrujilloThe Bible teaches us to be mindful about all we do. It says in all you do get understanding and you will be held accountable for idle words spoken and for your actions.

The Lord, your God had a vision, a plan and was mindful, intentional and was not idle with time nor His actions.

You will find example after example in the Old and the New Testaments. We read stories in the Old Testament, how God Himself led the way by cloud by day and fire by night. He gave verbal instructions to those who listened to Him, intently and willingly.

And for us to get a vision we must be intentional.

The Book of Job was about a man who went through a very trying, difficult and painful time. He was a very well to do man, rich in many ways, family, business, financial means and FAITH. He wanted for nothing, but the most way he was "WELL TO DO" was in his faith. He was a man of God and that faith was tested; allowed to be tested by God,Himself.

If you read the book of Job, you will read the enemy had to get permission to even begin to mess with Job (his circumstances). Yes, the enemy must first obtain permission from God to touch your circumstances when you are a child of God.

God and the enemy had a serious conversation, about Job. I am paraphrasing....God said to the enemy "have you considered my servant, Job" the enemy said Job is only about you because you have a hedge of protection around him and all that concerns him, remove that and let’s see what he does" touch his circumstances and he will no longer follow you" ...God said try him, but do not lay a finger on him; the man. Again, keep in mind Job was a very wealth, man in every aspect of his life. He wanted for nothing. When God told the enemy to take his best shot, God knew who His servant was and how strong Jobs' faith in Him was. God does not protect us from never going through anything, in fact He allows things and even orchestrates something's. Why, if we never go through anything how will our faith in God continue to grow? Would we even need faith if we have no challenges? Through the trials and the testing of his faith and being accused of sin, Job stayed strong in knowing God was still on the throne and he was not going to be abandoned. Jobs’ foundation in God was deep, impenetrable. No matter what the enemy did to him and what he lost...Job pushed through and persevered. JOB 22:28 ESV You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways. In this short scripture, so much is being said. Job is saying make up your mind...stand

"With the board being a visual reminder it becomes easier to keep God before you. "

for it, believe that you can have it and it will be yours. Job is highlighting our God and his promises to and for you. God wants to reward your faithfulness, your love for Him, but we must believe that He is.

Vision boards assist us in bringing that "MATTER" to fruition. It is a constant reminder that we can have established what we desire when we bring it before the Lord. God wants us to have the desires of our hearts, but first we must know what those desires are.

What do you want to see come to pass? Are you looking for direction, are you praying for someone's salvation? What, what are you trusting God for or who are you trusting God with?

Vision boards really do work....

How, you say, well it literally allows to you speak that thing into existence and work toward it daily. With the board being a visual reminder it becomes easier to keep God before you with your trust and belief and giving God the praise each day. We must praise God, not just for what he can do or is going to do, but for what He has already done.

God does inhabit the praise of his people. Praise Him! There is another scripture that speaks to this very thing Habakkuk 2:2-3 ESV 'The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith

And the Lord answered me:

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.

For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie.

If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.'

When we spend time in His word, we will begin to see and get nuggets from those who came before us and the lessons they have learned directly from the hand of God being their guide.

God wants us to learn these lessons because it will make for a less chaotic life. I did not say easy, I said less chaotic for the enemy will continue to prowl around but when you know strategies and have a plan and a vision, when you keep God first the trials and tribulations will not always be so long or difficult and even if they are, God will still be on the throne guiding and directing you at every turn.

Create your vision board and begin to live your life with purpose.
