Because They Don’t Know Yet
God-given Vision
Jeremiah 29:11-13
I.Key Idea
Vision is given by God. It is not mans idea or product. That is why we cannot see it with our physical eyes?A but spiritual eyes. Because God is the One who created mans heart?A vision and dream become clear only when we have an intimate relationship with Him. The significance of God-given vision is its present invisibility since it is about future. God gives us His special plan and vision individually. What we need is faith to believe He will accomplish it in each one of our lives. The faith is our total trust in His heart and plan. Then we will see the growth of faith throughout our lives.
While God gives man vision?A man executes the vision. Unless we see it and make it our own?A we will not see satisfaction in our lives because the Lord engraves His vision on our hearts which never fades away. We may forget about His vision in a time of suffering?A however He works in us and reminds it to us.
At the same time?A He puts desire in us for the vision in order that He can bring it to completion through us. Thus no matter how we suffer?A we should aim it. Like Joseph?A we are able to experience Gods grace and share the testimony of it when we run forward without fear regardless of obstacles. Even his thirteen years in slavery and jail could not demolish the vision in his heart. Ezekiel saw his God-given vision when he was captive in Babylon. Daniel was also taken to Babylon. Nevertheless?A he was not tempted to the kings meal?A rather able to obey the Word of God because of vision. Their testimonies tell us about the beautiful fruit in our lives through our faith and obedience to pure divine vision.
