The Value of Vision (Habakkuk 2: 1-3)

“I will stand upon my watch, and set myself on the tower, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.

And the LORD answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it plain on tables, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for the appointed time, but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay”.
