“Work Smart, Get a Vision”
This episode reemphasizes the absolute necessity of spending time with God in prayer and gaining His perspective on how we should invest our lives this year. Col. 3:1-2 tells us to “set our minds on things that are above where Christ is seated, NOT on things below..” Many Christians live reactive and aimless lives because they lack the tailor-made vision for their lives. Prioritizing the divine perspective over the lusts of men, ours and others’, is the only way to lead an intentional life that pleases God. The episode closes with Nehemiah as an example of seeking God’s will despite having sin issues. So no Christian can legitimately claim that God can’t use them.

In the podcast episode titled “Work Smart, Get a Vision,” Victor Vigorito discusses the importance of seeking God’s perspective to start the New Year effectively. He emphasizes that many people allow their lives to be controlled by the narratives of others or their own sinful tendencies. Victor highlights 1 Peter 4:2, urging listeners to commit to the will of God instead of the desires of men.


Victor explains that to understand God’s will for one’s life, individuals must approach God with a humble heart and a Bible in hand, seeking to draw closer to Him. He references Colossians 3, noting that if someone has been raised with Christ, they should seek things above and gain God’s vision for their lives. This perspective helps them avoid being reactive to life’s circumstances and other people’s dramas.


He warns against the pitfalls of trying to solve others’ problems, stressing that listeners are called to understand God’s will rather than living according to others’ expectations. Victor reminds everyone that spending time at God’s feet, in prayer and reflection, is critical for discerning His will.


As Victor continues, he encourages listeners to ask God for confirmation of His will when they are uncertain, ensuring that their lives align with God’s purpose, particularly amidst resistance and challenges.
