Vision Given by God Part 3 – Habakkuk 2:2
How often do you write what God tells you?
“Then the Lord answered me and said, ‘Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, that the one who reads it may run.'” Habakkuk 2:2 NASB

Rewards of Consent – Philemon 1:15-16
What’s the big deal about giving a gift?
“For this perhaps is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave- as a dearly loved brother- especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.” Philemon 15-16 CSB

And He did not let him, but He said to him, “Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.” Mark 5:19 NASB
This story in Mark is a story I talk about often. Jesus came ashore in a place that was a remote part of Israel. They weren’t great at keeping the law.
