Having a vision for the future allows us to see the potential in small beginnings. When we treat small things with care and respect, we prepare ourselves for the growth and opportunities God has in store for us. The Israelites, despite the challenges of rebuilding the temple, had a vision for its completion and the role it would play in their community. This vision motivated them to persevere and honor their small beginnings. By cultivating a vision for the future, we align ourselves with God's plans and position ourselves for His blessings.
"Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law." (Proverbs 29:18, ESV)
Reflection: What vision has God placed on your heart for the future, and how can you begin to prepare for it today?
