Title: Renew your vision
Renew your vision (Matthew 5:13)
"You are the salt of the world"
If you meditate on the words of Jesus, “You are the salt of the world,” it is a wonderful statement. It does not say that there is a possibility of becoming salt, nor does it say that there is an obligation to become salt, nor does it say that only some of the disciples are the salt of the world. Jesus said that all his disciples are the salt of the world. When the Lord said to his humble disciples, “You are the salt of the world!”, in the end, “Have a dream and a vision!”
Vision doesn't just mean big dreams. Knowing the vision that way will soon lead to disappointment, failure, stumbling, and temptation, doubting God. A vision is a holy dream. The vision is to find out what to do according to God's will and to accomplish God's will.
You shouldn't live in despair because you don't have anything. The saints have the love of the Lord who saved them through the cross, God's purpose for sending them to this earth and allowing them to live until now, and there are countless promises from God through the Bible. Then, the saints are beings with infinite possibilities. Recognize the possibility and have a holy vision. The difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary is not another difference, but a difference in vision. Depending on the presence or absence of a vision, personality changes, values change, and the future changes.
The biggest reason that Abraham became the source of blessing was because he had a holy vision. In Genesis 12, when God said to Abraham, “Leave your hometown and go to the land that I will show you!”, he had a holy vision and obeyed it. In Genesis 13, the good land was given to his nephew Lot because he had a holy vision. As soon as I made the concession, God appeared and said, “Raise your eyes and look north, east, west, and north. I will give you and your descendants the land you see forever, and I will make your descendants as numerous as the dust.” If you yield with a holy vision, you make progress.
In Genesis 15, God said to Abraham after he counted the stars in the sky. “So shall your descendants be.” At that time, Abraham had no children, but because he believed the word and had a vision, he could eventually become a source of blessing. A holy vision must bear fruit. Therefore, do not think only about your circumstances and circumstances, but see yourself in God's purpose with a holy vision. Even if it’s not enough, if you go out with a vision, it will magically come true.
Make your vision clear Don't just look at your circumstances, but firmly believe in God's promises. Even if it is not enough now, Jesus said, “You are the salt of the world.” Looking at history, that statement was not false. God changed the times by using a weak and small flock. If you have a clear vision, your circumstances and your situation will not be a problem. At that time, even the insufficient environment becomes a stepping stone and a stepping stone toward maturity.

Happiness does not depend on circumstances, but on how you see yourself in the Lord. With that perspective, weaknesses and obstacles are never weaknesses and obstacles. Old age is not an obstacle. If you feel that it is far from believing in Jesus and becoming a character because of your age, you can believe in Jesus and develop a character. Abraham had a son at the age of 100, and Moses led the history of the Exodus at the age of 80. If you have a vision, you will be given health to achieve your vision.
A person with a vision is like a river that goes to the sea. When going to the sea, if the right is blocked, go left, and if the left is blocked, go right. If both sides are clogged, wait for a while until the water is full and then move on. As long as one does not give up the holy vision in faith, no obstacle can break the holy vision.
Why do some people work hard but don't feel alive? This is because the motive and purpose of life are not clear and the vision is not clear. Therefore, always pray for the restoration of the holy vision. "God! May I become a spiritual sanctuary that accomplishes God’s will beautifully!” If you have the strength, you can become a true bone, but you cannot become a holy bone. To become a spiritual sanctuary, the devotion of the cross is necessary. There is a secret to achieving great things and living a happy life by embracing the holy grail vision.
Martin Luther King was insignificant. He was a black man who had little, but he had an amazing vision. he always said “I have a dream.” All he had was a single word. However, a single word that contained that vision was a huge fortune. Because of that vision, he became the greatest black man of the 20th century, and his birthday is a public holiday that all Americans commemorate.
A clear vision is your best asset and capital. Always have the vision of holy bones and dream of becoming the father of faith like Abraham. Then the day will surely come when God will use it. Also, at that time, God gives holy patrons such as Barnabas and Lydia.
Sometimes there are people who secretly and greatly dedicate themselves to missionaries' prayer topics and certain missionary visions. Sometimes they make a devotion by making a forced title. Commitment that suddenly got a bonus. There was an accident, but life was saved. I gave up knowing that I would not be able to repay the debt I had lent, but I devote myself to accepting that debt. Even though they don't actually have cash on hand because house prices have risen, they dedicate themselves to it. A life of making excuses is a player in making excuses, but a life of devotion is a player in making names of dedication. Why? It is because God moved his heart according to the vision of the holy bones.
Why is there a story of Abraham in the Bible? It is to give the challenge, “If you also have a holy vision, you will be blessed like Abraham.” There is no one in this world who once did not have a brilliant vision. The problem is that the vision fades over time. So you should always try to renew your holy vision. Reservoir water that does not flow rots. When viewed as a whole, the sea is like a huge reservoir, so why doesn't the seawater rot? This is because of the 0.4% salt dissolved in the water. Become a saint like that 0.4% of salt and become an essential person who renews the decaying world.
