“Where there is no vision, the people perish”
(Proverbs 29:18 ).
The wise king of Israel, Solomon, stated in his book of Proverbs,
These words have been quoted and repeated by millions of people over the years because they capture the significant role vision has in our individual, corporate, and national lives.
The full essence of his statement implies that where there is no revelation of the future, people throw off self-control, personal discipline, and restraint.
Simply put, vision is the source of personal and corporate discipline.
And while most humans have 20/20 vision, eagles are blessed with an astounding 20/5 vision. That means that what looks sharp and clear to us at 5 feet is just as clear to an eagle from 20 feet away. No wonder we use the term “eagle eyes” to describe superb vision.
Vision sets you free from the limitations of what the eyes can see and allows you to enter into the liberty of what the heart can feel. It is vision that makes the unseen visible and the unknown possible.
Vision Is The Foundation Of Courage And The Fuel Of Persistence.
It was the vision of flight that inspired the Wright brothers to invent the
aeroplane. It was the vision of light that possessed Thomas Edison to invent the light bulb. It was the vision of a desk-sized computer that motivated Stephen Jobs to invent the desktop computer. It was the vision of giving every person access to people-friendly software that inspired Bill Gates to develop and invent the Microsoft global empire.
VISION IS THE ENERGY OF PROGRESS.
Our World Today Is In Desperate Need Of Vision.
Hagar named God, “God of vision”
Gen 16:13 And she called the name of Jehovah who had spoken to her, You are a God of vision! For she said, Even here have I looked after Him that sees me?
Visions should be clearly written down on tablets so that all could read and understand.
Hab 2:2 And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.
Child Samuel was raised at a time when there were no visions at all in Israel.
1Sa 3:1 And the child Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the Word of Jehovah was rare in those days. There was no open vision.Sol.
