Proverbs 29:18
Excerpted from: LoyaltyIt is within the framework of this God-given wisdom we can find the vision to see how we are to live and what God is seeking and where He is leading us with His creative efforts. Proverbs 29, verse 18 tells us what occurs when we live without this vision.
Vision and law keeping are an offspring of godly wisdom and provides a structure to keep our liberty from becoming self-destructive behavior. These gifts of vision and laws, when added to our virtue of loyalty, become fundamental in holding on to our beliefs and maintaining our faithfulness with God.
Proverbs 29:18
Excerpted from: Truth (Part 2)You know what Proverbs 29:18 says. "Where there is no vision [meaning a vision of the Kingdom of God], the people run wild." Their life is aimless. It is not going anywhere. It is just going wherever the philosophy they happen to believe in is taking them. The truth of God is needed not only for the beginning of conversion, but the truth of God is needed throughout the entirety of our converted life to bring us further and further nearer to the perfection of Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 29:18
Excerpted from: Self-Government and Responsibility (Part Three)5. We lack the vision and the faith to motivate us to do things—to carry out our responsibilities.
So, where there is no vision, where there is no faith, where there is no belief in a great goal that needs to be accomplished, we lose our orientation. We do not go on ahead. We do not have the motivation to discipline ourselves to head toward that goal.
