Where does the term 20/20 for perfect vision come from?  If you look at an eye chart, the name is the 20ft eye chart, there is a red line.  This line is called the 2020 line.  A person with average eyesight can see read this line from 20 ft.  2020 is not perfect vision.  There are those who have 20/10, they can read the line them most people read at 10ft at 20ft and then there are those of us who have less than average vision.  Something like 20/30; we have to be at 20ft to read what the average person can read at 30ft.  Vision is more than eyesight.

As we start on the journeys of the this New Year, let us determine that it will be a year of victory! Let us choose our own attitudes and follow the advise of the Apostle Paul. Resolve to…

Function in the Present: Stop living in the future. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Forget your Past: Look beyond the sins and failures of yesterday; learn from them, repent of them, and then move forward.

Focus your Priorities: Place God at the top of your “to do” list everyday. Worship Him. Study His Word. Put His Kingdom first in your life and everything else will fall into place.

Philippians 3

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
