Renewing means bringing something new, doing something new, transforming the old into new. I may keep some of the past, some things may seem to be the same, but in essence everything is new every day. Every morning nature appears new, renewed. No moment is the same as a previous one. And that’s the great secret of the Great Creator. He does not repeat Himself, He does not lack new inspiration, His sources are not steadfast, and He is not tired of doing new things every day.

And this truth, which does not need any more analyzing, is the mirror of our personal life. The weary man is far from the waters of renewal, the wounded man lacks the gift of forgiveness, the humiliated man cannot see far because someone has stolen this divine gift; the gift of imitating their Creator, seeking the living relationship with a  living god, to see the world with new eyes every day, to ask for their visions to become reality.

Choosing as a process is a basic tool of our everyday life. We choose a mate, choose clothes, choose a destination for our holiday, choose a job, and we can continue to record endless lists of topics for which we have the exclusive responsibility of choice.

The basic parameter of my choices is always the possibilities offered, i.e. how many options I have, in order to choose the one that suits my need. If, as we say, my choice is one-way because I have no choice, then my responsibility is limited to denying or accepting the opportunity offered. But in life this rarely happens.

As a rule we have many choices and what we choose is what we want, what we judge to be of interest to us and therefore our best choice. So if my choices are crucial for my day-to-day decisions, it is obvious that in the case of greater choices, especially those concerning my future, they are also of great importance and determine the developments in my life.

That is why the Apostle Paul recommends to those who seek the living relationship with the living god not to choose the mediocre choices but to choose the best and the greatest, the most essential and not the humble, the productive choices and not the ones who will hide the talent in a place for safekeeping.

Although the verb “see” says that I see with my natural eyes, hence the “sight”, in the case of the word “vision”, the meaning is different and it states something distant, out of sight with the natural eyes but visible only with the eyes of the soul.

Maybe in modern society with the absolute technocratic perceptions and priorities, the role of the soul and the invisible world is not a real priority of people and an institution of daily employment, but it is commonly accepted that all people have expectations, hopes, visions for a new life; A better life.

It is clear that this hope keeps a person moving forward, that these visions are the locomotive behind tomorrow’s discoveries, that the vision shapes and transforms all the designs of all people of all time, and that the vision brings the best possible tomorrow and removes the negative experiences of yesterday.

One would even dare to consider vision as the main tool and asset of our life after life itself, since the well-being not only expresses interest in creativity, but is to a large extent a component of our very existence and, therefore, the better we know how to manage our visions, the better and more creatively we enjoy our lives.

Supplies are called the things that are necessary for our survival on a long and difficult journey and especially in war.

Without them we do not start our journey because we know there will be no return. And it is precisely this necessity and this importance of the supplies that creates the danger of an enemy who will take advantage of the opportunity and distort or counterfeit or reduce the quantity of supplies with the aim of never ending the journey or losing the war and battle.

And this sabotage does not have to be done before departure, but it can be done at any time during the journey or the war. For this reason it is necessary to be alert and protect the supplies, because without them the death, whether it’s sooner or later, is absolutely certain, although the general and supplier has organized not only the journey but also the quantity and the quality of the supplies with absolute precision, in order to satisfy our every need.

Although the modern picture of life does not include springs and rivers in our daily routine, since water is now running through the faucets of our house, we all know that the source is the point from which water comes out and it has some characteristics.

First it does not stop and it does not end shortly. Second, it’s always fresh, lively, cool. Third, it is clear of any factor that would not want us to drink clean water. Fourth, it is free. Fifth, we can choose from which source to drink; from a source with limited water or from a source of abundant water. Sixth, we can look, try, and reject. Seventh, it does not change place.

And finally, no one can interrupt the exit of water from the source, as opposed to the tap where not only if we have not paid the bill but also if someone maliciously and arbitrarily wants to deprive us of the basic and necessary good for our life or if the water transport system has been damaged or has been completely destroyed. And it is obvious that this is not a plumbing and domestic economy lesson.
