In the Quiet: Developing Trust and Finding Strength 25
Your challenge for today is that you would pray to have God’s vision for
your church and community,… but I want you to remember there are
certain truths that will exist with a vision that comes from God:
1. We tend to rank our prayer requests by degree of difficulty. We start
out with those things that we think are easy for God, and that He can
handle without difficulty. In fact, even if God doesn’t answer it, we are
fairly certain we can take care of it, and simply say that God was busy
doing something us. I want you to remember that there is no degree
of difficulty for God – to the infinite God, everything is finite, which
means that the God of all creation who simply spoke everything into
existence can handle whatever you are dealing with.
2. The Vision will ALWAYS be beyond your resources. God is going
to direct you towards something that is far bigger than you. I don’t
know about you, but when I am encountering a difficult situation that
I cannot handle in my own ability, I tend to pray harder and longer
than I ever have before. The same is true with a God-given plan. It is
going to be beyond your ability to see it or understand it now.
3. God will stretch your faith to dream bigger dreams, and embrace
bigger God-given ideas. Do not be afraid to embrace the opportunities
– remember that God can do more with one second, than you can
do in your entire lifetime.
So, spend time with the Lord today in silence. Embrace the time. Then,
as you sit in His presence, ask Him to give you a God-given dream.
Maybe He brought the vision up to you the other day when we were
praying through this – excellent! Pray through it again, and this time
write it down, underline it, highlight it, and circle it. Then spend the
next few minutes asking God to give you the strength to trust Him in that
vision! I know you can do it! You are amazing! God is using you! Don’t
ever forget that!
