And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.
[Habakkuk 2:2]

“Clear Vision”

Good Morning Beloved,

Vision is a beautiful thing… clear vision is even more precious. Today, I will be reminded of that fact…. I left my glasses at home. Now those of you who know me, know that is a problem. Right about now “I see men walking as trees”. Glad I don’t have to drive today. I am so used to having my glasses, that I really don’t pay attention to them much anymore. My natural vision, made me think about the vision that God has given me. It appears just as hazy sometimes. The Lord is so patient with us. I like how He spoke to Habakkuk. Habakkuk sounded like us. He was upset about what was going on around him. He saw violence and injustice everywhere and cried out to God for answers. God didn’t strike him dead and say how dare you question Me. He listened patiently for Habakkuk to pour out his heart to Him, and then God gave him instructions. So it is with us. We have questions, concerns, fears, issues, anger, and our God is big enough to handle them all, and too strong to ever be intimidated by them. He knows before we even ask them anyway. What He does, is give us an assignment… a vision. Our vision is tied to something that is in our heart. When we think about the issues that we are most passionate about. Those things that affect us the most. It could be the safety and well-being of children, or the preservation of nature. We are all fitly joined together, and as a friend reminded me, we all need what God has placed inside each individual, or something will be missing. The other thing about vision, is that it may shift from time to time and we need to be flexible enough to shift with it. A person may have a burden to travel to remote parts of the world now, that they did not have when their children were small. So today, that will be my goal to re-write the vision I have, and make it plain, so that somebody can run with it. A wise man once said that the richest place in the world is the graveyard. People who died never emptying themselves of the ideas, cures, inventions, books, music, movies, etc., that God had given them to bless humanity. The more of these things God pours into us, the more we have to pour out to others.
