THE VALUE OF VISION

“If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what He reveals, they are most blessed.” Proverbs 29:18 (The Message Paraphrase)

Imagine walking, lost in thought, when something catches your eye, and you stray off your path. Before you know it, you’ve wandered into a dead end. In that moment, God whispers, “The direction of your attention determines the direction of your affection.” Your focus shifted and led you off course.

When we let our eyes drift away from where we need to be focused, we lose our way. This moment wasn’t just about getting lost on a walk—it reflected a deeper spiritual truth. Just like in our walk, when we take our eyes off of God and His plan for us, we can easily stumble, wander, and end up in places we’re not meant to be. When we keep our eyes on Him, the affection of our hearts moves in the right direction.

Proverbs 29:18 reminds us that without a clear vision of what God is doing, we stumble. In life’s chaos, failing to keep God as our focus leads us to wander off course, missing the life He has for us.

But the verse also gives us the answer: when we attend to what God reveals, we are blessed. When we keep our eyes fixed on God, and the path He’s laid out for us, our hearts follow suit. We are blessed with peace, purpose, and direction because our vision is on the One who knows the way.
