  1. GETTING GOD’S VISION FOR MY LIFE

  2. “I will climb up into my watchtower now and wait to see what the Lord will say to me and how he will answer my (question). Then the Lord said to me, ‘Write my answer in large, clear letters so that a runner can read it and tell everyone else. But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.’” Habakkuk 2:1-2 (NLT)

Want • “I want to hear what God the Lord says…” Psalm 85:8 (GW) • “My God, I want to do what you want.” Psalm 40:8 (NCV) • “What I want most of all and at all times is to honor your laws.” Psalm 119:20 (CEV) • “If you search for God with all your heart and soul, you will find him.” Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT)

  4. 2. Withdraw “Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.” Matthew 6:6 (MSG) • “I will climb up into my watchtower…” Habakkuk 2:1 (NLT) • “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Luke 5:16 (NIV) REMEMBER: God wants to meet with me “Don’t worry about what you will eat…or drink…or wear…. Your heavenly Father knows that you need (these things).” Matthew 6:31-32

  5. 3. Wait • wait quietly • wait patiently • wait expectantly • “…I will wait…” Habakkuk 2:1 (NLT) “…I will station myself…” (NIV) • “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 (NIV) “I wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.” Psalm 62:5 (NLT) “Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37:7 (NLT) “I wait expectantly, trusting God to help, for he has promised.” Psalm 105:5 (LB)

  6. 4. Watch • “I will look to see what he will say to me…” Habakkuk 2:1c (NIV) • “When I tried to figure it out, all I got was a splitting headache until I entered the sanctuary of God. Then I saw the whole picture.” Psalm 73:16-17 (MSG) Ask God a specific question “If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him, and he will gladly tell you, for he is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask him … But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to tell you…” James 1:5-6 (LB) Look into God’s Word “Open my eyes, so that I may see the wonderful truths in your Word.” Psalm 119:18 (TEV)
