What's your vision for your future?   "I will take my stand at my watchpost and station myself on the tower, and look out to see what he will say to me and what I will answer concerning my complaint." Habakkuk 2:1 ESV   Notice here and for the next couple of days, I want to talk about the importance of vision. Here, the prophet Habakkuk is asking God for direction. He says he will stand his post and look out to see what God will say to him.   Do you ever wait for God to give you direction? Are you someone who believes that God will guide you? Or are someone who believes that everything is outside of our understanding? For me, passages like this show me that others have struggled with what I struggle with. Can I trust God? Will he guide me?   We will discover this some in the next couple of days. But today, let's start with what this prophet did. He took his post. He did his job. You're called to do your job today. You may not like it. But it is there. We don't get a pass. He went to work and he waited to hear from God. He anticipated being able to communicate with God. Jeremiah 33:3 ESV says "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."   I confess, I know I will hear from God and yet, I don't spend much focused time listening. I want to hear him all the time. But I don't spend enough time just listening. I want to listen more. I want to dedicate time to hearing from God.   This passage shows us some things about listening to God. We must stand our post. We must anticipate hearing from Him. Tomorrow, we'll talk about how Habakkuk is bracing himself even though he doesn't expect a good or easy answer.   Will you listen to God. Do you want his vision?
