Verse of the Day, 6 Feb 08

Proverbs 29:18-

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained,

But happy is he who keeps the law.

 I read this verse this morning when I was beginning a book my sister gave for Christmas 2006.  I am ashamed to say that I haven’t yet read the book.  However, I am planning to start reading through it with my oldest daughter, Seraphina.  This verse is in the beginning of the book and I believe it must be the key verse for Vision Forum (the publisher of the book).  I have heard this verse so many times before, but never really took much thought of it.  If you’ve read my previous post you know that I have been doing some searching lately…searching for what the Lord has for my family and I.  Well, this verse seems to line right up with what I have been praying about.  I have not have a vision recently for where the Lord wants our family to be.  Because of this lack of vision I feel that my children have “perished” for it (“perish” is another word for “unrestrained” in this verse).  I firmly believe that as I seek to get my life back on track…in every way, that we will truly be happy as we will be keeping the law (God’s plan for us, shown in His word!).
