Run With the Vision

Run With the Vision


Scripture
“And the Lord answered me: ‘Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.’”
Habakkuk 2:2 (ESV)


Reflection

God never gives vision for information. He gives vision for movement. In the sermon, we were reminded that vision brings clarity to purpose. Without vision, we may be busy, but we are not necessarily making progress. We may be moving, but like someone punching the air, there is no direction and no measure of growth.

When God told Habakkuk to write the vision and make it plain, the expectation was not that people would admire it. The expectation was that they would run with it.

At Mountain Springs Church, the vision is clear: to grow in our relationship with Jesus so we can change our world. Growth is not optional. Growth is the evidence of life. When we grow in relationship with Jesus, it affects our thinking, our decisions, our character, and our influence.

Vision is not fulfilled by attendance. It is fulfilled by alignment. It is fulfilled when each of us takes ownership of our spiritual growth and begins to live intentionally with Jesus at the center.

The sermon reminded us that transformation begins with presence before performance. We are not called to perform for God. We are called to walk with Him. As we cultivate prayer, worship, and the Word, our lives begin to reflect Him. Others begin to see not our effort, but His presence.

You cannot run with a vision you have not embraced personally. The question is not only what the church’s vision is. The question is how that vision is shaping your daily life.
Growth in Christ is not just for personal benefit. It is so that your life becomes a light in your world. Your family, your workplace, your friendships, and your community are the places where the vision is meant to run.


Reflection Questions

• In what area of my life is God inviting me to grow right now?
• Am I pursuing relationship with Jesus, or only religious activity?
• How can my growth in Christ begin to influence the world around me?

Prayer

Lord, thank You for calling me into a life of purpose and growth. Help me to embrace the vision You have given and to run with it daily. Draw me deeper into relationship with You. Let Your presence shape my character, my choices, and my influence so that my life reflects Jesus wherever You have placed me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
