Playing to win in 2010!!!

Vision
As we move forward with grand hopes and dreams for a prosperous New Year, I wonder how many of us have really taken time to develop a vision of what a successful 2010 would look like, feel like, or actually be.

It's important to realize that a vision is not just a picture of what the end result will be, but just as importantly, how you'll get there.

Hab 2:2-3 "And the Lord answered me and said, "Write the vision and make it plain, upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come; it will not tarry.

From this we learn 5 important steps that we must follow in order for 2010 to be prosperous:
1. Write the vision...few goals are achieved that are not written. The psychological impact of writing goals is phenomenal. Remember everything is 90% mental.
2. Make it plain...Your plan or vision should be simple throughout, and easy to implement. Remember the "devil"(literally) is in the details, so don't leave him a crack to get in. Unlike many of us, he's not slacking at his job.
3. It is for an appointed time...the appointed time has 2 very distinct components: your time and his time. Your time is the goal or timeline that you set to accomplish the various phases of your plan. This you have all the control over. Don't be slack in your preparation; success= preparation + opportunity. Your responsibility is to prepare. The other component is his timing, which you have no control over. Faith means trusting that when you do all you can, He will do the rest. Remember, he has promised time after time in his word, that he desires for you to prosper.
4. Wait for it...patience my child, patience. The waiting is the hardest part. It's difficult to keep this in perspective, but just like we have to get things in order, so does God. He's putting the proper people, in the proper place, with the proper resources to bring about the proper outcome. If you've ever assembled a toy or piece of furniture without following the instructions, undoubtedly, you found somewhere in the process that you did something "out of order". As a result you have to disassemble it and go back a step or 2 in the process. Save yourself some time and follow his directions with complete faith. Remember, because he is the inventor/creator of all, he knew and orchestrated the desired end from the very beginning. Nobody desires for better, or knows better, what the end result is to be....Ephesians 3:20 " Now unto to him that is able to do exceeding aubundantly above all that we ask or think...
5. Because it will surely come...remember, if you do your part, he'll do his part and sucess is guaranteed. Play to win in 2010 and you will!!!
