Let Vision Guide You

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: …” Proverbs 29:18

Vision is a mental picture of a preferable future. It means to see mentally or to see in your mind.

The Spanish translation says that where there is no vision the people run like wild horses. That means vision gives you focus. Without a vision, you will have no focus. Do you know what you want to achieve in the next five years, in the next two years, or even at the end of this year? What do you see?

Vision is the essence of life because vision is a revelation of God's plan and purpose for your life. A man or woman without a vision is perishing. So, to live your life without a vision is like dying without knowing. Your vision is what gives you a reason to live.

Proverbs 29:18(NIV) says, “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; …” This shows us that vision will make you disciplined. When you start thinking in line with your vision, it will discipline you. For instance, if you see yourself graduating with a first class from the university, it will discipline you to read more, and do more research and study than the average student.

Don't live your life in the remaining part of this year without a definite vision that God has birthed in your heart. Pray and ask the Father to show you His plan for your life for the remaining part of this year. Write it down, keep the picture in your mind and discipline yourself to consistently move in the direction of that vision every day.

Instruction.
Please pray the prayer in Colossians 1:9 for yourself today.

For further study, read:
Proverbs 14:8, Habakkuk 2:1-2, Revelation 1:19.

Doing the Word.
Ensure you write down your goals for the remaining part of this year; envision it and discipline yourself to a routine to accomplish it.
