Proverbs 29: 18 reads: "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." This proverb looks both to the lack of the Word and the lack of hearing the Word. The proverb then contrasts the joy and glory of a lawful society. As we are approaching a New Year, people are generally filled with hope for a better year. While that is commendable, a better year doesn't come from doing what you have always done if what you have done has not yielded the changes you desired. The verse speaks of two issues: first, not having the Word of God in your life, and second, the lack of application of the Word in your life. As you approach the New Year, what are you going to do with the Word of God? For years, I have read the Bible in a year and have enjoyed the experience. You need a set time every day to read and study the Words of Scripture. Also, you need to make sure that you are "walking in all the light you have." This was an old expression used by preachers from days gone by and it meant that you never did anything that you knew was contrary to the Word. As you approach 2023, I want you to walk in sunshine every day. Every day, determine to never walk in opposition to what you know the Word of God says. It will be a great year if you do!
