"Jubilee Cards" about Vision
Combining verses, declarations, and prayers
Seven of the 50 "Jubilee Cards" help us catch onto the Vision Rhythm. They clue us in to God's strategy for the good of the whole world, and they sign us up to become part of his strategy. Using them each day is like going back to a song you like and listening to it over and over, soaking it in.
Each card has a verse, a declaration, and a prayer, arranged in a "Ready, set, go" sequence.
READY -- the daily Vision Verse reminds you of the big idea of Vision Season. Each verse will tell you something about the coming world of peace. The way you go through your day today should give others a glimpse of that world, just like a trailer gives a glimpse of a coming movie.
SET -- the daily Vision Declaration links the big idea to your day. It pinpoints one game-changing act of God that has huge effects on everything. The Declaration defines your day for you, which means your pains and your enemies can't define it.
GO! -- the daily Vision Prayer invites God to SYNC you with the big idea and the Declaration. The Prayer is great to use as you are heading out the door to start your day and/or walking into the place where you spend most of your day.

Alternate wordings for your own Jubilee Cards
SYNC is not about standardizing you. It is about encouraging you to SYNC with Jesus Christ, the master of creativity and variety. If creating your own version of the Jubilee Cards would help you more than the "default wording" version above, here are some options for starters:
1. Which Bible version?
The default wording uses personalized paraphrase format based on The Message. You may prefer the straight quotes from Scripture. For example, we showed the verses from the New Living Translation. Use that or any other translation of your choice to replace the "Vision Verses" on the Jubilee Cards.
2. Which form of the Declaration?
See three options
3. Which form of the Prayer?
See four options, including one that does not use the Jubilee Cards at all
