In Scripture, having a clear sense of direction and purpose is often associated with receiving a vision from God. The prophet Habakkuk was instructed to write down the vision and make it plain, so that those who read it can run with it (Habakkuk 2:2). Without vision, the people perish, as Proverbs 29:18 warns, emphasizing the importance of divine guidance. The Bible teaches that God's plans and purposes are revealed to those who seek Him, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11, and that in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit, causing young and old alike to have visions (Joel 2:28). Through His word, God provides the vision needed to navigate life's journey.
