May 2020 Bible Reading Plan: VISION STAYS IMAGINATIVE

 

This year's Bible reading plans are based on my word of the Year, VISION.

The Vision Keeper: A Journey of Obedient Sight is your reminder that this is more than a plan—it is a call to stay aligned with what God revealed.
This is a step in
the Journey of Obedient Sight—a journey shaped by focus, discipline, and trust.
This is not just a reading rhythm. It is a spiritual assignment.
Vision still speaks. Vision still stands. Vision still stirs.
Stay faithful. Stay focused.
You are a Vision Keeper.

 

Description:

Imagination is not childish—it is spiritual. God often speaks through what we cannot yet see. This month invites you to embrace divine creativity and holy dreaming. When God births vision, He also expands your capacity to see beyond limits, invent solutions, and dream with boldness and clarity.

 

Memory Verse:

Ephesians 3:20

🏃🏽‍♂️ Shift Into Motion



Being a Vision Keeper is sacred. It means you guard what God has shown you, tend to it, and protect it from distraction. But there is a moment—quiet yet holy—when God calls you to shift. You are no longer just the keeper. You are now the carrier.

Running with vision means movement. It means risk. It means going even when the road is uncertain. It is not always glamorous. You may feel unqualified. You may feel slow. But obedience is not measured by your speed—it is measured by your surrender.

When you become a runner, the responsibility grows—but so does the grace. God equips you as you go. He does not expect you to carry the vision in your strength. He empowers you to carry it with faith.

The vision will speak—but only if you are willing to move with it.

From Keeper to Runner

When It’s Time to Walk Out What You Wrote Down

 

You Were Not Meant to Only Hold It

The Vision Keeper is faithful. Watchful. Obedient.
They protect what God revealed. They guard what was spoken. They steward what was written.

But vision was never meant to stay on the page.

There comes a moment when the one who kept the vision must become the one who runs with it.

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.”
(Habakkuk 2:2, ESV)

This is the moment.

You are not just a guardian of revelation—you are a carrier of movement.

 

The Shift from Keeper to Runner

Vision keeping is sacred. But if all you do is hold it, guard it, and re-read it—vision becomes preserved, not fulfilled.

There is a holy shift when God says:

  • “Stop waiting for another sign.”
  • “Start walking in what I already said.”
  • “You are not confused—you are hesitant.”
  • “You do not need another word—you need movement.”

Running does not mean rushing.
It means moving with clarity, on purpose, toward fulfillment.

“Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.”
(Romans 12:11, ESV)

 

The Runner’s Obedience

To run with the vision means:

  • Taking bold steps when the instructions feel incomplete
  • Executing what you wrote down, even if no one else sees it yet
  • Creating, writing, launching, starting—not just journaling about it

Runners obey out loud.
They live what they wrote.
They steward with action, not just reverence.

What good is a God-given vision if it never leaves the notebook?

 

You Are Running with Heaven’s Message

The reason the vision had to be written down plainly was not just for you.
It was so that someone—maybe you—could pick it up and run with it.

You are not just moving on your own idea. You are advancing His agenda.

And when God breathes on movement, fruit follows.

“I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!”
(Psalm 119:32, ESV)

 


Final Encouragement

You were faithful to keep the vision.
Now it is time to carry it forward.

  • Walk in what you wrote.
  • Move in what you believe.
  • Run with what you once guarded in secret.

Because obedience is not just holding onto what God said.

Obedience is becoming the proof that He said it.

The Vision Keeper has become the Runner.

And now... it is time to move.

  

Be A Vision Keeper
