Welcome
to 2020
“20/20 vision is a term used to express normal visual acuity (the
clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. ... If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must
be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at
100 feet” - American
Optometric Association
It basically means you have perfect vision, that you have
clarity of vision.
“Where
there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keeps the law, happy is he” –
Proverbs 29:18
Vision (Chazon in
Hebrew): Oracle, Prophecy, Divine communication
Perish (Para): To let
go, let loose, ignore, to show lack of restraint
Keep (Shamar): Retain,
Observe, Celebrate
Law (Torah): Prophetic
teaching of God, direction, Instruction.
Happy (Esher): Being
blessed. Blessed means being endowed with favor, experiencing goodness.
With these transliterations in mind, a paraphrase of
the above scripture would be:
“Where
there is no prophecy and divine communication from God, the people will live
lives with no restraint, they will let loose and ignore any warnings. But the
man who observes the prophetic teaching of God, and celebrates the instruction
and direction from God will experience the favor and goodness of God”
For 2020, this is a year to receive and see with
clarity the vision of God for your life. And the point of seeing the vision of
God for your life is so you live it out. As you live out the vision of God for
you, you will experience His favor and goodness. And for those who refuse to
commit to receiving the vision of God for their lives, they will live in
reckless abandon with no form of restraint or boundaries. It will seem like fun
and freedom, but in the end it will be their demise from experiencing the
blessing of God.
