"VISION" - Oswald Chambers

Habakkuk 2:
2 Then the LORD answered me and said:
Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,





"VISION" - Oswald Chambers


"I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision." Acts 26:19


"If we lose the vision, we alone are responsible, and the way
we lose the vision is by spiritual leakage. If we do not run our
belief about God into practical issues, it is all up with the vision
God has given.
The only way to be obedient to the heavenly vision is to give
our utmost for God's highest, and this can only be done by
continually and resolutely recalling the vision. The test is the
sixty seconds of every minute, and the sixty minutes of
every hour, not our times of prayer and devotional meetings.

"Though it tarry, wait for it." We cannot attain to a vision,
we must live in the inspiration of it until it accomplishes itself.
We get so practical that we forget the vision. At the beginning
we saw it but did not wait for it; we rushed off into practical
work, and when the vision was fulfilled, we did not see it.
Waiting for the vision that tarries is the test of our loyalty
to God. It is at the peril of our soul's welfare that we get
caught up in practical work and miss the fulfilment of
the vision.

Watch God's cyclones. The only way God sows His saints is by
His whirlwind. Are you going to prove an empty pod? It will
depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light
of what you have seen. Let God fling you out, and do not go
until He does.
If you select your own spot, you will prove an empty pod.
If God sows you, you will bring forth fruit.

It is essential to practise the walk of the feet in the light
of the vision."
