"Where there is no vision the people perish" Proverbs
29:18a (KJV)
The Hebrew word for vision in the verse is chazown,
(starts like Chanukah/Hanukah with that horrible phlegm-y sound,
ends like "zone"). The word means vision, but more than vision it
means a God-inspired vision, or word of God. Vision is an
interesting thing, either you have focus and clarity and you can
see well, or you don't and you are out of focus. I don't know
about you, but my vision is poor enough, in a physical sense, that
when I don't have glasses or contacts in use the simple task of
walking becomes difficult. I am much more prone to tripping in
those times, or being off balance in general- not to mention the
occasional misjudged wall or doorframe I may "physically re-direct"
myself off (that was code for run into). Having
good vision can also be unbalancing. I remember when I got my first
pair of glasses that were the actual prescription I needed- the
clarity of the world was almost unnerving.
So here's where this becomes applicable to our lives: do we have a
clear vision in life (a God-vision) or are we stumbling around
blindly ricocheting off of each obstacle and occurence with little
to no clarity? Is there a clear vision for you at your job? God
isn't wasteful of resources, so He clearly has a purpose for you
where you are, and sometimes His clear vision is for you to be
somewhere else, but often His vision is for you to see with His
focus what is in front of you. God has a plan, do you? Are they the
same? Are you willing to have your vision corrected, even
if it's ever so slightly?
