Write It Down!

Zig Ziglar 28

Some of us wander from one thing to another our whole lives. An out-of-focus purpose can’t inspire us, but a crystal-clear lens on God’s purpose for us rivets our attention and gives us energy to keep going until we reach our goals.

We need to write our vision down in clear, compelling language so that it grips our hearts.

Write It Down! Daily devotional by Zig Ziglar

The LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 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.” HABAKKUK 2:2-3

SOME OF US WANDER from one thing to another our whole lives. We’re capable of so much more, but we have never clarified our purpose in life.

An out-of-focus purpose can’t inspire us, but a crystal-clear lens on God’s purpose for us rivets our attention and gives us energy to keep going until we reach our goals.

While the prophet Habakkuk was in prayer, God told him to write down the vision He was giving him. In that day, scribes used a stylus to etch words into blocks of clay. It took work, so they thought carefully about what they wanted to write in order to avoid wasting time and tablets.

We need to write our vision down in clear, compelling language so that it grips our hearts. A clearly written vision statement frees us from confusion so that we can “run” instead of wander, stumble, or go backward. A clear vision overcomes inertia and produces the inspiration to run toward our goals.


But the fulfillment of our vision, God tells the prophet, is in His timing, not ours. Seldom does anyone move in a straight line from the conception of a dream to its fulfillment. Far more often, we experience ups and downs, delays, and disappointments.

These, though, won’t stop us if we keep our eyes on our purpose and on the One who has given it to us.

- Do you have a clear, compelling vision statement?
- What would it (or does it) mean to you to have one?

“We grow by dreams. All big men are big dreamers. Some of us let dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, nurse them through bad days . . . to the sunshine and light which always comes.” — WOODROW WILSON

Triumphs of Faith

D.L. Moody
How are we to get the victory over all our enemies? Joseph represents a more mature Christian. He could walk in the dark. He survived thirteen years of misfortune, in spite of his dreams, and then credited it all to the goodness and providence of God.
Wherever you are right now, look around—everything you see is a gift from God.

The Source of Everything

David Jeremiah
When David prayed a prayer of thanksgiving for the resources given by all the people, he made it plain that whatever they had given came first from God. It’s so easy for us to forget the origin of everything we own.
Let go of your old way of thinking and take hold of the new thing God has for you!

Develop a Vision of Victory

Joel Osteen
Do you have a vision of victory for your life? Do you perceive victory in your every step? Are you living each day filled with faith and expectancy? Today’s verse doesn’t say that God is going to do a new thing some day.
He wants to give you more wisdom so you can make better decisions.

Think the Way God Thinks

Joel Osteen
Begin today to think the way God thinks. The Bible says, “The path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter and brighter.” Think increase... Think big... Think expansive! Start expecting the unexpected and look at life through your eyes of faith.
God leads you through a progressive path, but the ultimate goal is to be on Mount Carmel and to be fruitful.

Wisdom in Building Up

T.D. Jakes
WE can build up ourselves, cultivate a sense of expectancy about the coming of the Lord, have compassion on those who have fallen, and be moved with zeal to make a difference in the lives of those who have spotted their garments.
