Vision

Acts 26:19 - "Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision."

People talk about 'vision' today. Churches come up with vision statements. Businesses have a vision for their future. The scriptures depict numerous instances of divine vision. In the Bible, vision is not something we produce, but an experience of God's revelation, God's leading.

"To the world, a good vision is an image of something that is both desirable and attainable. The difference between worldly visions and God-given visions is that God-given visions are always impossible to achieve apart from God. In this regard, Christian leaders have a tremendous advantage over secular leaders. People want to be a part of something significant. People want their lives to make a difference in their world. People want to be a part of something God is doing. If it is clear that God has made a promise to a group of people, there should be little difficulty in enlisting the support of group members." - Henry & Richard Blackaby, Spiritual Leadership, Broadman Press, 2001.
