WITHOUT A SPECIFIC GOD GIVEN VISION PEOPLE PERISH

Proverbs 29:18 says :' 'WHERE THERE IS NO VISION THE PEOPLE PERISH, THOSE WHO KEEP THE LAW OF GOD , HAPPY , FORTUNATE AND ENVIABLE ARE THEY."Another translation says : " WHERE THERE IS NO VISION , PEOPLE CAST OFF RESTRAINT...'' If you don't live by a specific Holy Spirit inspired vision you will end up being controlled by life's challenges. Life cannot simply be about responding to problems , it must be about pursuing God's vision for your life in partnership with Him and others depending on where their prayer life is will either get it or sadly not. The key to a successful Kingdom order life is to prayerfully live , move and have your being in the places God requires you to be , and there are very few who are called to stay exactly where they are . The Gospel speaks of only one or two who after offering themselves, stayed , most went as Jesus required them to. The key dear readers is to live every day with a compelling VISION .... VISION....VISION. Buckle up, God has a vision for you today , please don't use the excuse I don't know what that is. If you were even in the Word for a short time you would know , I really think the challenge is more to be obedient to what the Spirit of God has already called you to do ! So are you going to be a VISIONARY or a stagnant pool . As for me I wish to be part of the answer and not the ongoing problem , how about you ?????Read it again in differing translations : ''WITHOUT PROPHECY PEOPLE BECOME DEMORALISED. WHERE THERE ARE NO GUIDELINES, THE PEOPLE RUN RIOT. WHERE THERE IS NO WORD FROM GOD, THE PEOPLE ARE UNCONTROLLED. WHERE THERE IS IGNORANCE OF GOD, THE PEOPLE RUN WILD. WHERE THERE IS NO VISION...VISION....VISION...PEOPLE PERISH. Jesus needs you to please be faithful !!!!
