Why You Keep Stumbling – The Power of Vision (Proverbs 29) 👓🛑
You aren't clumsy. You're just blind. We wonder why we keep falling into the same holes, tripping over the same habits, and relapsing into the same mess.
Proverbs
You don't stumble because the road is hard. You stumble because you aren't looking up. You have no vision. If you don't have a picture of a future worth staying sober for, you will always trip over your past.
Today on Day 29, we are walking through Proverbs 29. We’re talking about the danger of stubbornness, emotional control, and the necessity of vision.
In this video, we cover: 
✅ The Breaking Point: Why people who "hate discipline" eventually break beyond repair—and why it happens suddenly (v. 1). 
✅ Venting is for Fools: Why "letting it all hang out" isn't brave, it's foolish. Wise people settle it down (v. 11). 
✅ The Vision Cure: Why the only way to stop stumbling is to see what God is doing in your life (v. 18).
Stop looking at your feet and start looking at the horizon.
