After reading the book of Habakkuk several times, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I needed a written vision from God to implement in my life, marriage and family.Īfter spending quality time studying and meditating on Habakkuk 2:1-4, I extrapolated seven keys to unlocking the power of God’s vision for your life.ġ.

It takes a concentrated effort to take the time to write your vision and an unwavering commitment to implement it. I have discovered that it takes more than just hearing an inspirational message, reading a book or attending a weekend seminar about vision. It sounds inspiring and motivating to hear a teacher or preacher proclaim, “Write the vision and make it plain…” But, it is another story when it comes to actually writing out and implementing it. It is sad to report that after hearing this powerful verse proclaimed many people still do not make the effort or take the time to write their personal and/or family vision. They will shout, give their neighbors high five and dance around with great enthusiasm upon the declaration of this word. I have witnessed people who get excited when they hear this verse proclaimed by a pastor or teacher. Habakkuk 2:2 is the major verse in the Bible when it comes to talking about writing a vision.
“And the Lord answered me, and said write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.” Habakkuk 2:2
