A mountain hiker must set the final destination to go to and also to take with them route map before hiking. Everything must be prepared ahead of time as good as possible. A mountain hiker will decide which path he will go through, how long the estimated climbing time will be, what things must be carried and prepared, etc. Many events can accidentally occur during the hike: rough path during the hike, going up the hill, going down the hill, sharp turn, unpredictable weather and many other but, a good hiker who has a clear destination in his mind will not be easily given in until he reaches the peak of the mountain.
The primary destination, of course, is reaching the peak of the mountain. Fatigue is just a price to be paid to reach the mountain peak. Obstacles and challenges can be handled well as long as the hiker holds his destination in his mind as an absolute thing that must be accomplished. If we talk about the creation of the world the Lord also had detail arrangements about how this world will become. The vision of the world creation could be realized when He took the Spirit of God to take part in the work. ("...and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.", Genesis 1:2b)
The case in our life, we should also have a clear vision. Never walk forward without having any vision, because without a clear vision our life will be unclear and in the worst scenario would be wasted. Vision is a dream, hope, noble things we want to achieve during our short life here on earth. There are many things we should prepare to achieve our life vision, It includes here; hard work and pray even harder . Prayer is the main weapon to accomplish a vision. By praying, we build a serious relationship with the Spirit of God. When we are always connected with the Holy Spirit, there will be flows of His power to work within our life to produce a breakthrough. But on the other way around, no connection with the Holy Spirit, there is no power and when there is no power there will be no miracles. Thereby, having a clear relationship with God is just as important as having a clear vision because it will help us to achieve the right vision from God and to make it a reality for the glory of His Name.
