The Dictates Of Vision

New Living Translation;
"When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful."

English Standard Version;
"Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law."

New American Standard Bible;
"Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law."

King James Bible;
"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he"

The world is in crisis because those who are leading on the political stage have an agenda that is contrary to the purpose of God for man. The 'vision' they have is for self gratification and control of society by any means necessary. In most countries around the world the only way to change the system is by violent overthrow, which as we have seen does not always end well.

The good thing about living in America is that our founders had "Divine Vision" when they drafted our founding documents. They left us a Constitutional Republic which puts as the authority over us those documents not those elected to office who have sworn to "Uphold the Constitution".

What we are seeing now is a president and Congress with an ungodly vision trying to destroy a Divinely ordained nation with a purpose and destiny established on the Word of God and the Covenant between Him and this nation. The promise from Solomon's book of wisdom is this "When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, but the godly will live to see their downfall." Prv 29:16

It is the vision of leaders that determines how a people will live and whether peace will flourish among the them. The wicked are in authority now but we, the godly, will live to see their downfall. I believe it is imperative that believers begin to seek God like never before, pleading with Him to put godly men in office and give them His vision for our nation.

Those of us who see and understand, whether Christian or not, that the vision those in office now have is destroying our liberty, must begin reaching out to those around us pointing out the truth in the statements from proverbs that says vision dictates destiny and that it is critical that we return to the vision of our forefathers. That vision is what has made America able to survive through two centuries of chaos in the world. If we discard that vision we will regret it and history will count us as the a generation of fools because in our "Collective Heart" we are proclaiming there is no God.

Our nation is in free fall and it is in danger of collapse, but that may not be such a bad thing if it awakens the people to the errors of our ways by electing to ignore our destiny. Our God is in covenant with America and He cannot allow us to fail, His name is at stake and He will pursue us just as He has Israel. The only question is how severely do we need to be 'spanked' before we realize we screwed up.......
