Acts 26:19 If we lose the vision, we alone are responsible, and the way we lose the vision is by spiritual leakage. If we do not run our belief about God into practical issues, it is all up with the vision God has given. The only way to be obedient to the heavenly vision is to give our utmost for God's highest, and this can only be done by continually and resolutely recalling the vision. The test is the sixty seconds of every minute, and the sixty minutes of every hour, not our times of prayer and devotional meetings. "Though it tarry, wait for it." We cannot attain to a vision, we must live in the inspiration of it until it accomplishes itself. We get so practical that we forget the vision. At the beginning we saw it but did not wait for it; we rushed off into practical work, and when the vision was fulfilled, we did not see it. Waiting for the vision that tarries is the test of our loyalty to God. It is at the peril of our soul's welfare that we get caught up in practical work and miss the fulfilment of the vision. Watch God's cyclones. The only way God sows His saints is by His whirlwind. Are you going to prove an empty pod? It will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of what you have seen. Let God fling you out, and do not go until He does. If you select your own spot, you will prove an empty pod. If God sows you, you will bring forth fruit. It is essential to practise the walk of the feet in the light of the vision. *Fitting for today is a reminder that the things we believe God has told us will happen and we must not lose faith because they may tarry or delay in happening. We must live the vision, walk in the vision and live in the light of what we have seen. Remaining in Him is the key to hearing His voice clearly. Are we remaining in Him every minute of the day? Walking in Him. Following Him. As the path gets difficult, do we lose faith? Never let the vision fall; never let your torch die out. ~7Seven

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. ~7Seven

"My Utmost For His Highest" is a beautiful devotion and is pratically God-Breathed in my opinion. Often times the dates and messages will be like it's speaking to me personally. It also has a very good reference in the back where you can check bible verses and subjects. No matter what denomination you are, it's Christ centered and I give it thumbs up! ~7Seven
