The Big Picture

Postby JWayne » 18 Jan 2010, 15:05

Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no vision, the people perish"

How do you see the Big Picture?

* Do you see God thru the world's eyes, making the world bigger than God or
* Do you see the world thru God's eyes, making God bigger than the world

Condition of having no vision;
Saved people as as sinful as lost people

The word 'vision' is the revelation (hazon) a prophet receives.

Also 'the people perish' does not refer to unsaved people dying in sin.

The verb 'para' means to cast off restraint.

So the verse is stating that without God's Word people abandon themselves to their own sinful ways.

On the other hand, keeping (obeying) God's Law brings happiness.
