Vision

I’m on this journey of sorts. There are things that God is putting in me to do, and at times it’s a little scary. Some of the things that are on the horizon seem a little scary. There are areas where I excel; things that I am good it. Consequently, when I look at where I am headed, it can be a little scary because it’s gonna take more than just mere talent and skill. I believe in the power of vision and praying over the vision. However, how we look at a vision can be skewed by our own ideas and intellect. We can either see the vision through God’s eyes or we can use our own glasses which may not be as clear. Things like doubt, unbelief, poor self esteem, lack of education, character flaws, etc. can make our view a little blurry. Am I the only one??? Doubt it. I’m currently reading an amazing book by my boy Steven Furtick called Sun Stand Still. There are many things in this book that will empower you, but there’s a portion that I keep going back to…..really helped me out……

Your vision should never be limited to who you are or what you think you can do. Apart from Christ we’re completely incapable of doing anything of eternal value.
The size of our vision isn’t determined by who God is. If it were, we’d all be curing AIDS and eliminating global poverty, and everyone on the planet would have heard the gospel at least seventeen times.
Instead, the scope and impact of your vision will be determined by who you believe God is- and whether you have the courage to respond accordingly....

This tripped me out. It’s almost like saying; to have a small vision is not a reflection of my inadequacies as I see them, but a reflection of how I view the adequacy of God. God is not requiring us to make ANYTHING happen; He’s just asking us to believe he can make ANYTHING happen.
