One characteristic unique to each person is the capacity to hope for a contented future. This hope gave birth to the discovery and growth of our own nation. Proverbs 29:18 issues this warning: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
Lewis Johnson offers this advice: “The idea is to seek a vision that gives you purpose in life plus energy for implementing the vision. Having a vision implies taking action, or the vision will sink back into nothingness.” David believed God had a purpose for his life and had saved him for that purpose.
David had an opportunity to kill Saul, but he refused to do it, for that would negate God’s purpose and timetable. David’s strategy for managing trouble was to listen to his conscience while believing God would provide guidance for the future.
When your conscience is enlightened by the Holy Spirit, God can bring to fruition his purpose as well as your hopes and dreams. Believe that!
