Day 5: Vision

Vision is a vivid, imaginative conception or anticipation. To have a vision, one must first have faith – "The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen," Hebrews 11:1. Vision is one of those things you must see before you can see it.

God states clearly how the vision is for an appointed time. That's because God has to process, prepare and position the visionary to have the faith and obedience to see it through. In God's view, vision is supposed to change, transform or add to the future blueprint of life. And as a family or individual draws closer to God and becomes sensitive enough to the voice and promises of God, they can hear, write, wait, reach, and achieve the vision of their life.

Though having a vision can be exciting and rewarding, it's a process that many tend to miss or lose if they aren't careful and don't have a complete understanding. So many miss it because it takes too long, seems too far-fetched, feels undeserving or inadequate, loses sight and hope, or is lured out of alignment. God gave Abraham a vision of becoming a Father of many nations at an old age, with many natural circumstances against him. But he kept his heart and ears towards Heaven, trusted and obeyed God beyond his understanding, and committed to remaining faithful to see it come to pass. And that vision not only blessed him and his family but also set goals for future believers to follow. It transformed into a legacy of blessings that we, Abraham's descendants, have inherited.
