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.

The vision of God is the source of patience, because it imparts a moral inspiration.

From Habakkuk 2:3:  “For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end and does not lie.  If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”

If you want to be of use to God, get rightly related to Jesus Christ and He will make you of use unconsciously every minute you live.

From Mathew 6:33-34:  “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.  Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

The right thing to do with habits is to lose them in the life of the Lord, until every habit is so practiced that there is no conscious habit at all.

This is the unshakable secret of the Lord to those who trust Him–I will give thee thy life.  What more does a man want than his life?

At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed him.  Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.

From Matthew 10:27:  “What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops.
