A Short Devotion on Vision for Your Next Meeting

📖 Proverbs 29:18

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”

💭 Reflection

Without a clear sense of where a group is headed, effort tends to scatter, everyone working hard in slightly different directions. This verse pairs vision with something practical, keeping the law, meaning a clear vision needs to be lived out, not just stated once and forgotten. A vision stated once in a kickoff meeting and never revisited tends to fade fast under the weight of daily tasks, which is why groups that stay aligned usually return to their vision often, not just at the start.

✅ In Practice

Ask everyone in the room to say, in one sentence, where they think this project is headed. If the answers don't match, that's today's real agenda item, more urgent than whatever was originally planned, since misalignment here quietly undermines everything the group later tries to build on top of it.

🗣 Discuss

Can everyone in this room articulate, in one sentence, where we're actually headed?

🙏 Pray

God, give us clarity of vision today, and the discipline to actually live it out, not just talk about it. Keep us from drifting into busyness that has quietly lost sight of where we're going. Amen.
