WRITE THE VISION

September 14, 2013

Vision is a picture of your future from the present.  It means seeing the end from the beginning. Vision is a discovery of God’s plan as it relates to your life. Without vision, confusion is inevitable.  A man without a vision is no different from a blind man. Pro 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”

George Barna defines Vision as a clear mental image of a preferable future, imparted by God to His chosen and is based upon an accurate understanding of God, self and circumstance. In order words, vision is God given and man driven. Where do you see yourself in twenty years?

However, no matter how colorful your vision in life is, it must be written down. Hab 2:2 says, “And the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”  When God was going to give uncle Moses the ten commandments, God could have decided to read them to him and have him go recite to the children of Israel, but God knew that whatever that is not written can be forgotten.

Have you ever written down to-do list for a particular day, and at about 4pm, you realize that you still have some open items; at that point, no other thing matters than closing those open items. Imagine if you had not written them down.  That is the same thing with writing down your vision; it keeps you on your toes. As you are seeing it, you are always running with it.

Jokingly I tell people that to be seen on the television, you must have a vision. Hab 2:3 says, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Your vision will come to fruition in Jesus Name. Amen!
