Walt Disney passed away before Space Mountain was built at
Disney World. When they were dedicating the new place, the Governor, and the
Mayor were present. The man who introduced Mrs. Disney said, “It’s a pity that
Mr. Walt Disney is not here today to see this mountain, but we’re glad his wife
is here.” She said, “I must correct the young man. Walt already saw this mountain.
It is you who are just now seeing it.” (Mrs. Disney)
Do you struggle seeing what God has for your future? Have you
asked the Lord to make it clear what you’re to do with your life? Without
Vision, people live without confidence, peace, joy, courage and faith for their
journey.
Helen Keller was asked, “Is there anything worse than being
blind?” She paused for a moment and in her very unique way of talking said,
“What’s worse than being blind is having sight without vision.”
Many people are walking like dead zombies without a vision.
They are seemingly walking in the fog. Most planes couldn’t reach their
destination without a radar system. Radar reveals dangers that are ahead and shows
the pilot where the runway is, so he can land safely. Vision shows you where
the runway is in order to reach your destiny. One morning, we were leaving the
dock on a charted fishing boat. The fog was so thick; the trip would have been
stalled for several hours without radar. But because we had radar, we left the
dock and moved through the channel with no problem. What is your radar for
navigating your vision? God has RADAR.
His
Word Without The
Word of God, you will find yourself manipulating the system, people and plans
to get ahead. Jacob fell into this trap because there was NO Word to
direct his path Gods way. Momma told him what to do and he became the grabber of
Esau’s Blessings and Birthright through Manipulation.
Prayer
For many years Jacob had
no prayer life. I hate to think where I would be today if I didn’t pray
intentionally for a Vision and Direction for the future. I take no credit for
where I am today. It was in prayer that God gave me direction, purpose and
Vision for what I am doing today. “God is no respecter of persons.”
His Spirit God desires to direct us in our choices without us having to
be dishonest, cheat or grab something that isn’t ours. Jacob had to run for his
life and from his brother Esau because he had stolen his Birthright and his Blessings
through Manipulation rather than the Inspiration from God. Jacob would learn
through the Hard Knocks that Inspiration from God is better than a plan
of Manipulation. (Genesis 28 & 32)
Hard
Work Jacob did
receive God’s Blessings as He had promised. God never said we could just sit
back on our laurels and wait for our Vision to happen. God has ways of PREPARING
us for the Vision that He has created for our future. “When opportunity comes
it’s too late to prepare.” .” Frederick
W. Smith. A young man
did a college paper in his economics class on what his vision was for overnight
mail. The professor took a red pen and gave him a “C” and wrote, “Do not dream of
things that cannot happen.” The young man left school and started Federal Express. I wonder where the
professor is today. Your vision will require Hard Work and Inspiration that God
will give you to complete what He has placed in your heart. Go for it friend!
God is with you and for you.
