Proverbs 29:18 KJV — Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
The verse doesn’t contrast “no vision” with “having a vision”.
It contrasts “no vision” against “keeping the law”.
Or, under the new covenant, keeping the Word of God.
From God’s perspective, the word of God is the vision we’re to have.
Where there is no vision, image or picture of God’s perspective, the people perish.
Jesus, the Word of God, was given as a sacrifice so that we might not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
The Word of God keeps you from perishing.
Use the Word to paint a picture in your mind, will and emotions.
