The Bible reminds us in Habakkuk 2:2:
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.”
As we approach the end of a season, it’s important to look back before looking forward—but only to learn, not to dwell. Reflect on what you’ve accomplished, the lessons you’ve learned, and the opportunities you’ve embraced.
Ask yourself:
- What will I do differently now that I know better?
- How will I use the time, money, and resources I have today more intentionally?
- What will I change now that I’ve gained new experiences, contacts, and insights—or have endured loss?
Write down your vision. Use the wisdom you’ve learned from the past —not fears, regrets, or doubts – to plan your future. Let your vision be fueled by hope and the promises we have in Jesus for an abundant life.
Here’s something to remember about writing down your vision: when you put it into words, your vision becomes a map that guides you forward—and makes it clear who isn’t meant to walk this season with you.
Let’s break this down with Faith, Focus & Flow:
FAITH: Trust the Process
Faith calls us to look beyond what we see today and trust that God is working all things for our good. The lessons we’ve learned—whether through success or struggle—are all part of the process.
