[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: Your vision board

Read: Habakkuk 2:1-4

Meditation verse:

“Then the Lord answered me and said: “write the vision and make it plain on  tablets, that he may run who reads it” (Habakkuk 2:2).

Before a is building is erected, the architect comes up with a drawing in paper  of what the building will look like when completed. This is known as the building  plan, and it is a prototype of the proposed building. However, for that to happen,  the plan must be followed to the later by the builders. Do you have a plan for  accomplishing the purpose for which you have been created? What are your life  goals? Are they clearly articulated? Have you written them down? A vision board  is a visual representation of your life goals which should include your purpose.  It contains images and texts that represent what you are trying to accomplish.  

In today’s reading, Habakkuk was questioning God over the plundering of the  nation of Israel. He wondered how long it would take God to intervene and God  instructed him to write down what it was that he was expecting and wait for it  to happen. Visualization is a powerful concept. The power behind it is: “we  become what we see because the brain wills the body to move towards what it  has seen. The brain captures a picture of what you have seen and creates a  hunger for it within you. This hunger becomes the motivation that drives your  actions. The more you visualize, the greater the hunger. It is difficult to keep  pursuing what you are not hungry for or what you have no desire for, because  you are likely to give up at the slightest challenge. 

When God was leading the children of Israel to the promised land, He repeatedly  told them that the land was beautiful and good, flowing with milk and honey.  He was creating a hunger in them that would enable them take possession of  the land, despite opposition from its previous inhabitants. If you feel  overwhelmed by your goals, put them down clearly on a vision board. Use  images and text to represent whatever you want to achieve in any area of your  life. Then position the vision board in a strategic place where you can see it  clearly daily, like in front of the refrigerator or your bathroom wall.  

As you visualize and affirm your vision daily, your internal energy and creativity  will flow in that direction and eventually, your dream will become a reality.
