There is something solidifying and even grounding when you have heard from the Lord, and you can see the vision clearly.
Notice that it says, "the one who reads it will run". As I've studied this a bit further, it's talking about how the reading of it changes the way we run. It affects how we move forward. This tells me that it's not only important that we seek the Lord for vision, but we are also called to write it down, refer to it, and remind ourselves of the vision.
I recently went through a time when I was questioning whether or not to continue in business or if God was leading me to lay it down.
What I realized when I took the time to step back, reflect, and seek the Lord, I had forgotten what the vision was. I had been caught up in the mundane, daily things, and I had not been reminding myself of the vision.
Something else significant came up that caused me to question everything. The plans and what it looked like to carry out this vision were shifting, and I could feel it, but I couldn't clearly articulate it.
So, what took place that helped me to get re-aligned and anchored?
I heard clearly from the one who gives the vision. He reminded me that the vision was still the same, but the steps and the details were shifting. He also reminded me of this powerful verse in Habakkuk and the importance of staying anchored to the vision and the vision giver.
Have you felt a shift in your calling and perhaps what it looks like to move forward? Has it caused you to question the whole vision God gave you?
Take a step back, reflect, and spend some time with Him in order to get clear.
You may discover that the vision has not changed; God is just shifting the steps.
