Where there is no vision the people perish...

Craig Groeschel has written a 4 part series on vision. It is so amazing because it describes all the things God is doing in our lives and in Catalyst France...


In part 1 " The Dream, Revelation, Vision" he says:

The title of my first book, Chazown, is a Hebrew word that means a dream, a revelation, or a vision.
You can find Chazown 34 times in the Old Testament. Proverbs 29:18 is the most commonly quoted verse containing “Chazown.”
Here is the verse in three different translations. I’ve underlined the English translations for Chazown:

…Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint… (NIV)
…Where there is no vision, the people perish… (KJV)
…When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild… (NLT)

No matter how you translate it, without Chazown (vision, revelation, divine guidance), the people we lead will be confused, scattered, unfocused, and easily distracted. Unfortunately, this is where many ministries and organizations live: Chazown-less.
