October 2020 Bible Reading Plan: VISION STILL SPEAKS
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:
Even in
silence, even after delay—vision still speaks. This month reminds you
that God’s voice is not always loud, but it is always faithful. These verses
will help you listen again, lean in deeper, and trust that what God said still
matters. Vision does not expire—it echoes.

Psalms Rememberminder: He Will Not Let Go.
The Shepherd's grip is greater than your stumble. He keeps you, even
through the night.
Psalm 27:1 (NET): “The
Lord is my light and my salvation—I fear no one.”

Self-Care Checklist
I am a firm believer in self-care. You must take care of yourself.
Parker Palmer says it best… “Self-care is never a selfish act—it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer to others.”
With this thought in mind, I have created two self-care lists. One is Christian based and has self-care acts that remind you of God’s goodness. The other is non-Christian based and has self-care that remind you that you matter.
The Christian based list was created for a group that catered to women, so that is why it is so “girly.” J
Enjoy!

Rememberminder: The Word Still Works.
Even if you feel dry, disconnected, or distracted, God’s
Word is still alive. Keep showing up. Keep reading. It will not return void.
Isaiah 55:11 (NET):
"In the same way, the promise that I make does not return to me, having
accomplished nothing..."

🪨 It Still Holds
There are
moments when the foundation feels shaky—when life rearranges your expectations
and the vision seems fragile beneath the weight of delay, doubt, or difficulty.
But here is the truth: what God spoke is not easily shaken.
His vision is
not built on your strength or circumstances. It stands because He spoke it.
When everything else wobbles, the Word of the Lord remains unmovable. You may
have to rest. You may need to weep. But you do not need to abandon the vision.
It is still rooted.
Vision that
stands is not flashy. It is faithful. It reminds you that endurance is holy. It
reminds you that hope is not naive. It reminds you that God is still invested
in what He planted in you.
When you feel
like you are standing alone, remember: the vision still stands with you.

Vision Still Stands
A Word for the Vision Keeper When the Ground Feels Shaky
When
Everything Else Shifts, Vision Remains
Life is unpredictable. Plans collapse. Emotions change.
People disappoint.
But for the one walking in Obedient Sight, this truth never fails:
Vision still stands.
What God revealed still holds—even if you do not.
This is the posture of the Vision Keeper: not to hold the
vision up with strength, but to stand under it with surrender.
Because divine vision is not sustained by your ability—it is upheld by God’s
faithfulness.
“The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his
heart to all generations.”
(Psalm 33:11, ESV)

What
Does It Mean for Vision to Stand?
To say “vision still stands” is to declare that God’s Word
is not fragile.
- It does not expire when momentum fades.
- It does not fall apart when life interrupts.
- It does not waver because your faith wavered.
- It does not shift because your season changed.
It stands because He who gave it is unshakable.
The foundation of your vision is not a circumstance—it is a
covenant.
What God authored, He will fulfill.
What He established, He will uphold.
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not
pass away.”
(Matthew 24:35, ESV)
For
the Vision Keeper: Hold the Line
There will be days when you feel like the only thing still
standing is what you once wrote in faith.
Hold that line.
You are not standing on inspiration—you are standing on instruction.
And the same God who revealed the vision will defend its fulfillment.
Even when:
- Your emotions do not agree
- Your timeline feels shattered
- Your strength feels gone
The vision has not moved.
“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of
yours can be thwarted.”
(Job 42:2, ESV)
What
to Do When It Feels Broken
If everything around you is shaking, but you believe God
still spoke:
- Replant your feet in Scripture, not speculation.
- Rebuild your expectation on what God said—not how you feel.
- Remind your heart: this vision was never yours to own—it was always
His to establish.
Vision Keepers are not perfect people. They are planted
people.
They do not chase the wind. They root themselves in what
God said—even when it feels buried.
Because buried vision is not the same as broken vision.
Final
Encouragement
Vision still stands.
Even when your strength fails.
Even when your sight dims.
Even when your progress pauses.
The storm may knock down your pace—but not your purpose.
So stand. Recenter. Stay planted.
You are not holding it up—He is.
And the Vision Keeper who walks in Obedient Sight will see
it come to pass.

In this article, we will explore the reasons why you should journal verses from the book of Psalms to help you with daily reflection.
Understanding the Book of Psalms
The book of Psalms is a collection of 150 poetic prayers and songs written by different authors, including King David, Moses, and Asaph. The Psalms cover a wide range of human experiences, from joy and praise to pain and despair. They express a deep longing for God's presence and guidance in the midst of life's challenges and uncertainties.
Benefits of Journaling with Psalms
- Gaining Spiritual Insights: The Psalms offer profound spiritual insights into God's character, nature, and ways. By journaling with specific verses, you can deepen your understanding of God's love, mercy, justice, and sovereignty. You can also receive comfort, hope, and guidance from God's promises and faithfulness.
- Processing Emotions: The Psalms are full of raw emotions, such as anger, fear, sadness, and gratitude. By journaling with Psalms, you can process your own emotions in a healthy and constructive way. You can express your feelings honestly and authentically to God, and receive healing and restoration in return.
- Connecting with God: The Psalms are a powerful tool for cultivating a personal relationship with God. By journaling with Psalms, you can experience a deeper sense of intimacy, trust, and dependence on God. You can also learn to listen to God's voice and respond to His leading in your life.
- Finding Meaning and Purpose: The Psalms offer a rich perspective on the meaning and purpose of life. By journaling with Psalms, you can discover your own sense of purpose and identity in God's plan. You can also find inspiration and motivation to pursue God's call and mission for your life.
Tips for Journaling with Psalms
- Choose a Verse or Passage: Select a Psalm that resonates with your current life situation, emotion, or need. You can use a devotional guide, a concordance, or a random selection to find a verse or passage to journal with.
- Read and Meditate: Read the selected Psalm slowly and meditatively. Reflect on its meaning, message, and implications for your life. Pay attention to the words, phrases, and images that stand out to you.
- Journal and Pray: Write down your thoughts, feelings, and insights in a journal. Use your own words and style to express yourself authentically. You can also write a prayer or a response to God based on the Psalm. Pray for God's guidance, wisdom, and grace to apply the Psalm to your life.
- Reflect and Apply: Take time to reflect on your journaling experience. Review what you have written and look for patterns, themes, or areas of growth. Identify ways to apply the Psalm to your life, relationships, or circumstances. Take action steps based on your insights and commitments.
Journaling with Psalms is a powerful way to deepen your spiritual life, process your emotions, connect with God, and find meaning and purpose in life. By incorporating this practice into your daily routine, you can experience greater joy, peace, and growth in all areas of your life. Remember, journaling with Psalms is not about perfection or performance, but about authenticity and vulnerability before God. It is a safe and sacred space to pour out your heart and receive God's grace and mercy. So, don't be afraid to start today, even if you don't know where to begin. Just open your heart and your journal, and let God speak to you through His word.
