THE POWER OF VISION

"I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. The Just Live by Faith Then the LORD answered me and said: “ Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.“ Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith" (Habakkuk 2:1-4 - NKJV)

If you're like me, Habakkuk isn't exactly the first thing you would think to read in the Bible. But these verse have always jumped off the page at me. Still, it hasn't been until recently that I really started to understand just how important this message is.
God has been talking to me more and more about identifying a vision.

I had been thinking about the vision He had given another friend. On the surface, it seems simple, almost too simple, but I really started to think about it. His vision is simply to help others identify what their vision is so he can help them accomplish it.

So God asked me: "What do you need to do before you can do that?" I honestly had no clue, and was happy to tell Him that and asked him to tell me. He said, "Before someone can identify their vision, they have to identify their great need" Now, on the surface, that may also seem too simple. I think most people (who have a relationship with God) would agree that the greatest need is salvation. That's true, but beyond that, what would you say your greatest need is? Everyone's answer is different. A definition of wholeness is, Nothing missing, nothing broken. What needs do you have to have met in order for that to be true in your life?

We have all been told that God wants to meet all our needs in Christ. The question is, do we have the faith in Him that we need to take Him at His Word? He assures us in Jeremiah 1:12 that He watches over His Word to perform it. Are we trusting Him to perform it the way He wants to?

What is your greatest need? What is your vision? Trust God and take Him at His Word (See Matthew 6:33) -- step out in faith and find out!
1TM04 1 Timothy 4:12
"Don¹t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity"
New Living Translation
ISA40 Isaiah 40:28,31
"Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary....those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint"
