There is a difference between an ideal and a vision.  An ideal has no moral inspirations; a vision has.

From Proverbs 29:18:  “Where there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint, but happy are those who keep the law.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
