Writing God's 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

God's creation is filled with illustrations and you've probably used a few. But have you written them down? What about the lives of your parents and grandparents? Are there stories you'd like to share with your children, grandchildren, and others? You may think no one would want to read your writing. Read the verses from Habakkuk again. 

The Lord says write the vision. What vision has the Lord given you?
He says to make it plain so the runner can read it. When we are gone, the race will not be over. Others will need to read the vision God has given you. 
Then the Lord says the vision is yet for an appointed time. Wait for it. It will surely come. You may not see the fruit of your vision but wait for it. Pray for it. God will use it. 

Never be discouraged. God has given each of us talents to use for His kingdom. He expects us to use them, not hide them. Sometimes we all need encouragement, a little honing of our skills, or just to know we're on the right track. I'd like to invite you to the Write2Ignite Virtual Conference. Below is the information for registration. Pray about it. Let me know how I can help you pray. Let the Lord move your heart for His vision.
