Directions

The Lord answered me: Write down this vision; clearly inscribe it on tablets so one may easily read it. Habakuk 2:2, ESV

I’ve shared with you in previous posts that the Holy Spirit spoke to me about creating a vision book. At first, I thought it would be a lot of fun, but the process quickly became daunting. However, the Holy Spirit was gracious and guided me step by step through it. This wasn’t just a haphazardly assembled book—everything was broken down in detail. Even now, there are times when He prompts me to make adjustments to it.


It had been about two weeks since I last looked at my vision book. Life had been busy, and I kept setting it aside after my prayer time. One day, while driving to a location I had never been to before, I relied on my GPS for directions. As I often do, I glanced at it periodically to ensure I was on the right path. In that moment, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “How are you going to reach the end of your vision if you’re not looking at the directions? You don’t know how to get to your destination, yet you’re not paying attention to the directions.”


God has this incredible way of capturing our attention when we least expect it. He continued, “You glance at the GPS every few minutes, even though it tells you where to go. You give more attention to this man-made device to guide you than you do to the vision book I’ve given you. That vision book is your direction—it’s your map to the end result of where I’ve told you to go. Just like you set the destination point in your GPS, the vision is your destination point.”


He went on to explain, “So many of My people get caught up in wondering how they will reach the end of their vision. But if they follow Me—just like you follow the GPS—they will get there. Scripture says, ‘Write the vision and make it plain.’ If you don’t have a vision book or board, you have no destination point, and you won’t make it to where the Holy Spirit is directing you. The vision board or book is your compass to a destination you’ve never been to before. It’s like traveling to a foreign country where you don’t know the language—you need something to translate and guide you.”


If you’re reading this and you don’t have a vision, or you haven’t looked at your vision board or book in a long time, I encourage you to revisit it. Take some time to sit with God and let Him guide you into what He’s placed in your spirit. You already have everything you need inside of you to fulfill what the Lord has ordained for your life. He has instructed us to write the vision down and make it crystal clear.

Key points:

The vision for survival is imperative.

The vision written down is necessary.

The vision is your direction to your destiny.

Affirmations: Matthew 10:20; Luke 24:32; Ephesians 6:19, Isaiah 55:11
