JMD Devotional 78 Isaiah 62:1 Consuming Vision

FOR ZION'S sake will I [Isaiah] not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until her imputed righteousness and vindication go forth as brightness, and her salvation radiates as does a burning torch.

Isaiah had a consuming vision that kept him on task for God's kingdom. A proper vision is not compromised by circumstances; it is allowed to be placed 'impossibly' high, to reside as an ideal to be strived for. Goals, on the other hand, need to be packaged in reality, (to be realistic and attainable.) But vision can soar to the highest heaven as a beacon for aspiration and inspiration.

Dear God,
Please plant a special and unique vision into my soul that summarizes your will for my life. May it serve as a standard (flag), the focus of my passionate service, a worthy goal to strive for on behalf of your kingdom and glory.
Amen
