Lent Day 11...Day 181 (1 Samuel 28,29; Proverbs 29; Luke 11)..."A Life Changing Passage"

One of my life changing passages is in today's proverb...

"Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law."

In the KJV are the more familiar words..."where there is no vision the people perish."

Vision is one of the essential elements needed in every generation. What is an attribute of great leaders? Vision. The ability to see things that can be that are not yet. When we seek God's vision, we walk by faith.

In one of my favorite metaphors in the Bible , we must do something with our conversion. Jesus warns against idleness following conversion. This is illustrated with a house cleaned left empty for evil spirits) Our conversion leads to discipleship, so our spiritual house will not remain empty and be filled with good habits of the Lord.
