Tag: Proverbs 14:23

I recently cut a tree back in my garden. All the branches were then strewn all over the garden, making a bit of a mess.

Then a thought came to me.

Do you see the garden full of mess, or can you see the clear garden, once the mess has been cleared out?
There is a work to be done, but the clear garden is there, to be seen, if you have the vision to see what it will be, once the work has been done.

Now to some, this may sound like a load of nonsense, but I do think that there is a truth, to the thought.

The garden may appear to be in a bit of a mess, at the moment.
But once the clearing up work has been done, then it will be the clear garden, that it is meant to be. Having a clear vision of what it will be, helps with the motivation to do the work, that needs to be done.

So, if you see a mess in front of you, are you then able to have the vision to see what it can be, or will be, once a needed work, has been done?

Proverbs 29:18 (King James version)
¹⁸ Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

There is still a little bit more to be said about this post.

If you are able to gain a vision of what could be… then what?
Will you be able to do the work that is needed, so that the vision, then becomes a reality?

We do need both the vision and the effort of doing the work, to then truly see the vision come to pass.

Proverbs 14:23
²³ All hard work brings a profit,
    but mere talk leads only to poverty.
