RUN WITH THE VISION
What’s God going to say to my questions?
I’m braced for the worst.
I’ll climb to the lookout tower and scan the horizon.
I’ll wait to see what God says,
how he’ll answer....

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.
—Habakkuk 2:1-3 (The Message)

For most of us, Perspectives was a like a grenade tossed into our predictable, normal Christian lives. We’ve been ruined for the ordinary because, amazingly, our worldviews have changed.
Worldview Change >> Lifestyle Change >> Panic
Once that began happening—for some of us, in Lesson One!—we all sensed some lifestyle changes were also coming. Made us all a little edgy because the more drastic the possible changes, the more we’re desperate to know precisely our part in this biblical, historic, mega-cultural and strategic plan of God. What does He want? What’s next?
That query, of course, slides into the well-worn question of “What is God’s will for my life?” (See the PDF.)
But before we figure out the niggly details of our next step in God’s unchangeable purpose, God wants us to clearly understand the general basics that He’s already revealed. In fact, He probably won’t get specific about where we fit now until we position ourselves in what the Word teaches about the following steps.
We won’t even deal with the primero question of the Lordship of Christ in our lives, all right? If we’re not in that simple, radical, living-sacrifice posture, we can forget about trying to get some divine guidance on our next step. With that basic Lordship stipulation settled, work through the following to help clarify your next step in the Kingdom.
