“Write
the vision and make it plain.” Hab 2:2 NKJV
WRITE
DOWN YOUR VISION
Dr. John Maxwell writes: “If you have a general idea
of your dream, your temptation may be to start creating your strategy. Don’t do
it yet…begin writing a detailed description of your dream. Let your imagination
go wild. Write as many elements or pieces of it as you can. Don’t stop until
you have more than you think you need. Now quantify everything you can. Make it
measurable. Don’t worry about how you will get there yet. BE bold. Be audacious.
Dream big! The next step is to state your dream succinctly in writing…don’t
expect to be able to for the whole process in one sitting. For most people that’s
not possible. Instead, give it time. You may want to get away to a retreat to
start the process. If you can separate yourself from your usual surroundings or
routine for a couple of days, you might be able to get most of the work done.
Otherwise, take a day to dream, and then come back to the process for a few
hours at a time in subsequent weeks. Don’t forget your goal: make your dream as
clear and specific as possible. Then keep it in front of you so that you can
see it every day.” A God-given dream will always look bigger than you. Jericho
looked big to Joshua. Goliath looked big to David. But no dream is bigger than
God! Don’t be impatient: “The vision is…for an appointed time…wait for it” (v.
3 NKJV). And don’t get discouraged by circumstances. “I had fainted, unless I
had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (Ps
27:13). Trust and you will see your dream fulfilled.
