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:
Vision is not just meant to excite—it is meant to sustain.
This month focuses on how God’s vision nourishes your soul and blesses those
around you. These Scriptures help you root deeply, give generously, and grow
steadily. You are not just carrying vision—you are cultivating life through it.

I need to be revived at the moment. With no physical, in-person church, I feel spiritually disconnected. So, I have decided to read the first 72 books of Psalms from September to November.
Join me if you want to do so.

Faith-filled vision looks beyond circumstance into God’s
promise.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NET): “For
we live by faith, not by sight.”
Your role is not to rush the vision but to remain faithful
to it.
1 Corinthians 4:2 (NET): “Now
what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful.”
You are not disqualified by slow progress. Purpose unfolds one faithful step at a time.
Romans 8:28 (NET): “All things work together for good for those who love
God.”
There are
seasons when the vision seems to go silent. No new instructions. No
confirmations. Just stillness. In those moments, it is easy to wonder if you
misheard God or if the vision has expired. But silence is not a sign of
abandonment. It is often a sign of trust.
God is still
speaking—even when it feels like He is not. The vision still breathes, still
holds weight, and still carries purpose. You are being invited to believe in
what was spoken long after the initial moment passed. That is the depth of
obedience—not responding to the noise, but staying faithful to the whisper.
When everything
else feels quiet, let that be the moment you lean deeper into what He already
said.
The vision
still speaks. Let your faith be the echo.
A Word for the Vision Keeper Walking in Obedient Sight
When
God Speaks, Vision Lives
Even when it feels like Heaven is silent—vision still
speaks.
For the Vision Keeper, this is not just poetic
encouragement. It is a spiritual reality. The vision God gave is not bound by
circumstance. It does not fade when emotions do. It is not silenced by delay,
disappointment, or distraction.
Vision is more than an idea—it is a divine message.
And when it is written by faith, it continues to speak—even when God seems
quiet.
“For still the vision awaits its appointed time… If it
seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”
(Habakkuk 2:3, ESV)
What
Does It Mean for Vision to Speak?
To say “vision still speaks” means:
Even in your stillness, vision is active.
Even when the ink is dry on the page, the assignment breathes.
Even if others have forgotten, the vision echoes.
It does not lose its voice because time has passed.
It still speaks—because it came from God.
The
Vision Keeper’s Role
For those walking the Journey of Obedient Sight,
this matters deeply.
You are not just someone who received a vision. You are
someone entrusted with it.
Your role is not to make the vision louder—it is to make your heart quieter, so
you can hear it again.
When the noise of life increases, return to the written
Word.
When confusion rises, return to what you recorded in clarity.
When your heart wavers, revisit what was given in the secret place.
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow
me.”
(John 10:27, ESV)
How
to Let the Vision Speak Again
If you feel like the vision has gone quiet:
Vision is not silenced by a hard season.
It is only drowned out by forgetfulness, noise, or neglect.
But when a Vision Keeper remembers… the vision speaks
again.
Final
Encouragement
Vision still speaks.
Not always loudly. Not always immediately. But faithfully.
It speaks through written pages.
It speaks through weary obedience.
It speaks through a whisper in your spirit when everyone else has forgotten.
So keep your journal open.
Keep your spirit tuned.
Keep your heart obedient.
Because what God said is still alive.
And the Vision Keeper hears what others miss.
