Live for vision

Live for vision.

“And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, ...”
Habakkuk 2:2

What is a vision? A vision is a revelation of God's plan and purpose for your life. A vision can also be defined as insight into the reason why you were born.

I went to a website that trains people in becoming a success in business and I noticed that the man's driving force is to see to it that business people carry out their business in line with their purpose. I also discovered that there were people who were doing well in the job they were doing initially but they were not fulfilled. But after they aligned themselves with the purpose for which they were born they finally found fulfillment in life.

There is a true life story of a very wealthy man who was loved by his nation but he committed suicide by jumping off from his building. He collapsed on the floor and died. He was liked by everyone and he was wealthy too, yet he lacked fulfillment. He got to the highest point in his chosen career and discovered that money and the praise of men is not what gives fulfillment. This frustration has caused many to commit suicide even in the midst of fame and fortune.

Chasing after fame and fortune without making the fulfillment of your God given vision your primary objective is chasing after the wind. That is what the preacher calls, “… vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 1:2

Instruction.
Appraise your life honestly by God's purpose or vision for your life and get back in track in areas where you have compromised.

For further study, read:
Habakkuk 2:1-3, Hebrews 10:36, Proverbs 1:10.

Doing the Word

Identify the things that are distracting you from God's vision for your life and eliminate them.
