HARVEST REFLECTION
WRITE THE VISION
By Joanne Murray
“And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the
vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run
that readeth it.” — Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)
HARVEST REFLECTION
There is a sacred rhythm between revelation and
responsibility.
Every dream God plants in your heart carries both the
whisper of possibility and the weight of follow-through.
Writing the vision isn’t simply about goals or plans; it’s
about commitment. It’s your act of partnership with
heaven, your willingness to translate divine inspiration
into tangible form.
Each time you put pen to paper, you’re building a bridge
between faith and focus. Your vision becomes clearer
not because it suddenly appears perfect, but because
you’ve chosen to see it through the lens of obedience
and trust.
Harvest is not a season of arrival; it’s a season of record.
You write down what has matured and prepare for
what’s next. When you make your vision plain, you invite
others to witness it, to believe in it, and sometimes to
run with it beside you.
So, as the leaves turn and the world slows, return to
your journal. Write boldly. Dream bravely. And
remember: what you write in faith today will guide you
and many others tomorrow.
