I shall stand at my post,
I shall station myself on my watch-tower,
watching to see what God will say to me,
what answer God will make to my complaint.
Then Yahweh answered me and said,
Write the vision down
inscribe it on tablets
to be easily read
for the vision is for its
appointed time
it hastens towards its
end and it will not lie.
Although it may
take some time
wait for it
for come it certainly will before too long.
~Habakkuk 2:1-3
When vision calls us, informs us, pulls (or pushes) us, we are reminded and drawn into the bigger purpose. God's enterprise is about love. Love that is patient, kind, tolerant. Love that is just, merciful, transforming. Love that draws us into the One who is One. It's organic, interactive, (and, of course, beyond our knowing and understanding).
So the vision requires hope and humility, purpose and persistance, love and longing. And it will take time.
I shall stand at my post...watching to see what God will say to me....

In my prayer life, life as a living prayer often God calls me to love, just love and all else follows. I hear it more frequently, more loudly when I am about to judge and softly when I walking in silence.
