« Then the LORD told me: “I will give you my message in the form of a vision. Write it clearly enough to be read at a glance »
2 Then the Lord said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.
3 This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
Light can be shining brightly outside, but if your eyes have grown dim, it will not matter because you will be unable to experience its brightness.
Genesis 27:1 says that Isaac waxed old, and his eyes became dim that he could not see.
- This tells you that when a person’s vision dies, it means old age has set in.
In Ecclesiastes 12:1-3, _when Solomon said,
“…those that looked out of the windows be darkened,” that was his way of saying, “When your eyes can no longer see as a result of old age”._
So, one of the ways you will know that you are in your old age is when you no longer have visions.
Joel 2:28 tells us that you get to an age when visions become replaced with dreams.
The right visions drive people to run, Habakkuk 2:2, to ensure that they are fulfilled,
while those who dream usually do nothing to bring their dreams to reality.
Some years ago, I was talking to three elders who are also my special friends, and I told them that the definition of old age is ‘dreamers’. As long as you still have a vision you are pursuing, it means you are not yet old. This is why I sometimes joke that only those who are older than me are elders because I am still pursuing my vision. So, I am still young, even at 82.
It is pathetic to see young people who are already old because they have no vision.
Yes, they talk about dreams for their future, but they are mere wishes because you don’t see them pursuing them at all.
When I see such young people, I often think to myself, “Young fellow, where is your vision?”
When a person becomes a dreamer instead of a visioner, then the individual is old.
Such a person’s day, which is the time he or she has to spend on the earth, is almost over.
The word of God says in Proverbs 29:18,CW
« When people do not accept divine guidance, they self destruct. But whoever obeys divine law is kept. »
In other words, when a person’s vision is gone, the fellow is on his or her way out.
I believe God is talking to a specific reader of this devotional.
You had great visions, but now, you have forgotten about them.
Wake up!
Application – What is the vision you have been actively pursuing ?
