Write the Vision
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch
to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon
tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed
time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Habakkuk 2:1-3)
Today’s
Morsel: Write the vision and make it plan. Put
the bottom line up front. King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 22:17-21, “Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine
heart unto my knowledge. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them
within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. That thy trust may be in
the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Have not I written
to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, That I might make thee know
the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of
truth to them that send unto thee?” The prophet must write the vision. Thus, when John had a vision of the
New Jerusalem, he was ordered to write. “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” (Revelation 21:5) He must write it, that he might
imprint it on his own mind and make it more clear to himself, but especially
that it might be notified to those in distant places and transmitted to those
in future ages. You don’t sugarcoat
the gospel and the doctrine of Jesus Christ and His apostles. It must be
written plainly. Maybe this is the reason people are not committed to the
church; the vision of eternity isn’t written plain enough.
Sing: Onward to the prize before me, soon
His beauty we’ll behold; soon the pearly gates will open; we shall tread the
streets of God.
When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will
be! When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory.
Thought For Today: What is your
understanding of eternity?
