DEFINE YOUR VISION

“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 2:2-3 (KJV)
One of the most dangerous things a man or woman can do is live without vision. To wake up each day with breath in your lungs and no sense of where you’re going. To dream, but never define it. To want, but never write it. That is not how purpose works.
When God spoke to the prophet Habakkuk, He gave him a blueprint for the future. Not just hope. Not just encouragement. But instruction. “Write the vision. Make it plain. So that he who reads it may run.”
A vision gives direction to your movement. It fuels your pursuit. It lifts your eyes above the chaos of the now and points them toward the purpose of tomorrow. It doesn’t have to be complex. But it must be clear. If it can’t be written plainly, it won’t be followed boldly.
You don’t drift into destiny. You drive toward it. With intentionality. With structure. With your eyes fixed on what God has placed within your heart.
So I ask you, have you written your vision down?
Not just in your thoughts. Not just on your phone notes. But before your eyes. On paper. In a form that stirs you every time you read it. Because there will be days when the vision tarries. There will be moments when it feels far off. But it is for an appointed time. And at the end, it will speak.
If you don’t define your vision, you’ll end up living someone else’s. You’ll follow trends instead of truth. You’ll chase comparison instead of purpose. You’ll settle for less because you never dared to be clear about what more looked like.
Your vision is not too big. And it’s not too late. God wouldn’t have placed it in your heart if He didn’t intend to walk you through it. But He needs your agreement. He needs your partnership. And that starts with clarity.
Write it. Declare it. Refine it. Believe it.
Make it plain enough to run with. Because once you do, nothing will be able to stop you.
Writing a vision is daring indeed. I have much vision in voice memos and phone notes, but after reading, I am impelled to write it down on paper.
