Write The Vision

“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.” ~ Habakkuk 2:2-3

Sometimes, I think we miss the importance of writing things down.

We often use phrases like “I got it all in my head” or “I can remember that.”

But often times, it’s not about our ability to remember.

See, writing things down makes them plain.

It makes your thoughts tangible so that God can use and work with them.

As the scripture above indicates, writing things down allows a herald (an angel) to run with it, to work on your behalf to make it happen.

As I’ve mentioned before, Michele and I wrote down our goals for 2009 at the beginning of the year and doing so has made achieving them so much easier.

Each day, I try to write a to-do list of everything I want to accomplish that day, and more often than not, I do it all or at least accomplish more than I would have had I not written things down.

So, as you go throughout the day, remember the principle of writing things down.

God has promised that if you write down the vision that He’s given you, though it may take a minute to come to fruition, though it may not come when you want it, it will surely come to pass.

God bless,

J.W.

What's Your Priority?

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you wake up?

Do you think about the goodness of God?

The blessing that it is to simply wake up in the morning?

The hedge of protection that He places around you day by day?

Or, rather, is your mind on other things – like the meeting you have scheduled for later that day; the errand you have to run before you head to work; or even your favorite song.

Whatever it might be, if your mind is not on God in the morning, you have set yourself up for failure throughout the rest of the day, for the Bible says that if we would seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, all these other things would be added unto us (Matthew 6:33).

You see, whatever you think of first is a good indication of where your priority lies for that day.

So, make sure God is your priority and everything else will work itself out.

God bless,
J.W.

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” ~ Matthew 6:31-33
