Shift Into Legacy: A 5-Day Devotional to Launch You Into a Life of PurposeSample

Day 2: Developing Your Legacy Vision
Scripture Focus: Habakkuk 2:2-3, Proverbs 16:3

Today, we move from discovering your calling to developing a clear, compelling vision for the legacy you want to create. In Shift Into Legacy, I shared how crafting a vision was not just a strategy, but a pivotal moment in my journey. For years, I was moving forward, but not always in a direction that felt aligned with my true purpose. Then came the day when I sat down and asked myself a question: What do I want my life to reflect?

That question changed everything. Through prayer, reflection, and seeking counsel, I began to see a vision emerging—not just for my career or personal growth, but for how I wanted to impact families, generations, and communities. It was a picture of transformation, of families living purpose-filled lives, rooted in faith and intentionality. I could now see the blueprint of the legacy I was meant to create.

The Bible speaks to the importance of having a vision for your life. In Habakkuk 2:2-3, God instructs us to "write the vision and make it plain, that he may run who reads it." This verse is a reminder that a clear, written vision is not just a suggestion—it’s an essential part of our purpose. Your vision is the roadmap that will guide you as you move toward fulfilling your legacy. It is the picture of your future that you are constantly moving toward.

In Proverbs 16:3, we are reminded to "commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." As you begin to develop your legacy vision, know that when you align it with God's purpose, He will give you the strength and wisdom to bring it to fruition. Just as I had to step out in faith and trust that God would establish my plans, you must also trust that He will guide you.

I remember vividly the first time I wrote my vision down in a journal. It was like I had given shape to my dreams, and for the first time, I could see a clear path forward. I encourage you today to begin drafting your vision. Ask God to reveal His heart for your legacy, and let Him guide you in creating a vision that reflects His will for your life.

Prayer:
Father, help me to develop a clear vision for the legacy You want me to create. As I reflect on Your Word today, guide my thoughts and direct my actions so that my vision aligns with Your purpose for my life. Thank You for establishing my plans and giving me the courage to pursue them. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflection:

• What does your ideal legacy look like in 5, 10, or 20 years?
• How can you align your daily actions with the vision God is placing on your heart?

Action:
Write down your vision for the legacy you want to create. What are the key areas in your life that God is calling you to impact? How can you begin to build the steps to make this vision a reality?
