An Expanding Vision

Listen to the Audio

Isaiah 9:7 says that of the increase of His(Jesus) government and of peace there will be no end. I believe God likes us to continually expand. In July God often begins to expand our vision and show us a bigger glimpse of where he is leading us. He has given us purpose and grace in Christ Jesus before time began but if he showed it all to us at once it would be overwhelming. He knows the perfect time to unfold things for us. 

Don't be surprise if a bigger vision starts to come in the upcoming weeks. When the vision comes make sure to say YES, because there will be the temptation to let all the reasons why it won't work creep into your mind. When God showed Moses that he was to lead the people out of Egypt, Moses thought God should find someone else because he wasn't an eloquent speaker. But, if you look back at the life of Moses God had set him apart from birth. God told Moses, I made your mouth. I will help you speak and teach you what to say. The same thing happened when God had the people spy out the promised land. Most of the people responded with fear because there were giants in the land. But, when they took the land God fought for them. 

When God shows us a bigger vision it is important to remember that whatever he is prompting he will sustain. The things he calls us to do usually can't be done in our own strength but he can do more than we ask, think, dream, or imagine and it happens by his power that is working within us. Our role is to say YES, get started, and follow his lead.

If God has been expanding your vision something to do this week is to pray the prayer found in Ephesians 3:14-21.

I am praying for you.

Daniel
