"Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,but blessed is he who keeps the law." With the exception of the message that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life, Proverbs 29:18 is about the most important message the Bible teaches. In fact, the Bible itself is an example of this message. It tells the story, repeatedly, of what happens to people when they do and do not acknowledge and obey the revelation of God's love for His creation and His plans and purposes for it. In fact, this revelation is about the only thing that can keep people in check both individually and collectively. So let us boldly proclaim God's present and coming Kingdom because it helps keep things under control in this rebellious world in which we live--and when we obey this prophetic vision then we will be blessed.
