Out of Sight

“Where there is no vision, the people perish. . .” (Proverbs 29:18)

People run amuck with no vision of God, choosing to go their way, following their easily deceived hearts. A deceived heart quickly leads the unsuspecting down spiritual, mental, emotional, physical destructive paths. But there’s good news in the second half of the verse: “But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”

To keep the law, we must know what it says. Only by reading and meditating on God’s truths can we apply what we learn to our lives and live it out. Even though we fail, we escape visionless perishing by turning to God for forgiveness and restoration, regain a right standing with Him, and a clear vision of who He is.
