Creating a Buzz

The ancient Hebrew prophet, Habakkuk, said it this way, “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it” (Habakkuk 2:1). The first step to seeing a vision fulfilled is to write it down and make it transferable and easily relatable for people. Most visionaries know that it will take more than just themselves to see a thing come to pass. A vision always takes resources—especially people—to make the vision a reality. So, the challenge is in taking your vision—something ethereal and intangible existing in your own mind—and communicating it effectively to the people who will help make it happen. These are your “runners” and they must be able to read your vision and understand it clearly. The good news is, once these go-getters have a grasp on your vision, they will create a buzz about it wherever they go.

Check out the message translation of this passage (Habakkuk 2:2-3):

And then God answered: "Write this.
Write what you see.
Write it out in big block letters
so that it can be read on the run.
This vision-message is a witness
pointing to what's coming.
It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait!
And it doesn't lie.
If it seems slow in coming, wait.
It's on its way. It will come right on time.

And remember, the difference between a visionary and a daydreamer is the ability to see God's opportunity in your scarcity. Little is always much when God is in it!

Let's create a buzz around the vision here at theTURN!
