![]() ![]() ![]() Examine yourself spiritually to see if you have vision, or only principles.Īh, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, ![]() Our own idealistic principles may actually lull us into ruin. But wherever there is vision, there is also a life of honesty and integrity, because the vision gives me the moral incentive. I too may have the right idea of God and His attributes, but that may be the very reason why I do not do my duty. Jonah tried to excuse his disobedience by saying to God, “…I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm” ( Jonah 4:2). A person’s own idea of God and His attributes may actually be used to justify and rationalize his deliberate neglect of his duty. People who are totally consumed with idealistic principles rarely do anything. A principle does not come from moral inspiration, but a vision does. There is a difference between holding on to a principle and having a vision. ![]()
