Catching A Vision For The Future

It’s hard to believe that Christmas and New Year’s are behind us.

This is the time when we tend to reflect on the past year, while envisioning our hopes for the new… and that’s the headspace I’m in right now. Reviewing the past, to catch a vision for the future.

God Knows You Need A Vision of The Future

You might have heard Proverbs 29:18 quoted from the King James Version, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” but I think the ESV is closer to the original language as it translates this verse to read: “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,” or how the NLT says, “When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.” And I think my favourite translation of the verse is from the CSB,

Wait For The Vision

When we’re making plans for the next year or trying to set a 5-year plan, it’s imperative that we spend time waiting on God to hear His direction; and then follow it. When I don’t, I feel like I’m running wild, taking shots in the air… and mostly missing. I don’t want to do that this year, and I’m guessing you don’t either. I want to live on purpose, on mission.

There’s a sense that this year is critical, a pivotal time in the history of the world. I want to make sure you and I are following God’s lead to make the greatest impact.

Review & Envision

I challenge you to take some time, like I did, to write out key life events from 2022 and prayerfully envision this year. If you need an example, you can see mine HERE. Then, get moving to make those dreams reality!

Prayer

Father, I thank You for giving me dreams and visions for the future. Your Word assures me that you speak to Your people, so I can be confident that you will guide me. Help me to wait for Your Word, hear it, and follow through to completion. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
