The hole in the roof was gaping. But instead of merely focusing on the destruction the raging fire had caused, the store’s owner envisioned a skylight where the roof had been. He then rebuilt his store to feature that beautiful skylight, which became a valued part of my town.
To me, this illustrates the necessity for vision—the ability to look beyond immediate challenging circumstances to see positive opportunities. When we turn to God for direction, we find infinite possibilities for good.
The Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). The Bible is full of examples of individuals who were able to look beyond the immediate circumstances to see the reality of God’s perfect spiritual creation.
