(The Vision) write it louder

THE VISION: Write it louder

Habakkuk 2:2,3

The LORD answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come.

It won't delay.

Writing things down often helps me remember.

Many years ago my boss saw me writing a message in big letters on a post-it note to myself and commented, “maybe you should write it louder”. We both laughed but it struck me as being humorously true!

Writing is a means of “recording”…making a record. God is asking us to make a record of His message to this generation so that it will be remembered…

resulting in obedience to Him.

That’s a big deal!

Perhaps God knows that if He gives a “vision”, it will be “writing it louder”.

We can’t forget that the book of Revelations was a vision…that was a message God wanted recorded for His people to get and keep in their hearts. It is a “record” of the vision God gave. It still is the only book of the Bible with a promised reward for those who read it. And it is packed with visuals within the vision!

What vision is God giving us today that needs to be written down so others can run well?

Let’s keep asking Him…and waiting attentively.

“Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened.”
