Have fear, intimidation, doubt, frustrations, and
questions gotten in the way of your vision? How many will decide to go through
life without a vision. God says, “Without a vision people perish. (Proverbs 29:18) (NCV)18 Where
there is no word from God, people are uncontrolled, but those who obey what
they have been taught are happy.
Living life without a word from God is frustrating,
complicating and exasperating. Some are literally out of breath because they
have gone so long without pressing in to hear from God a vision for
their life. I’m convinced that God put you here for a reason. Until you figure
out THE WHY, you’ll live exhausted, frustrated, and worn out trying to find
that missing piece to the puzzle of your life.
In Genesis 6, man was on a search doing every
imaginable evil in God’s sight. God regretted that He had made man. He told Noah, I will destroy all mankind and
start over again. Build an ark to preserve for the future. Vision is looking
into the future. Noah was a man who was given instructions to build an Ark for
the future, But how? What would he need
to complete this undertaking?
Too many people FOCUS
on what they Don’t have instead of what they Do have. In order to fulfill
Gods vision for your life, you MUST focus on what you do have going
for you.
NOAH REALIZED WHAT
HE HAD GOING FOR HIM WAS:
The Favor of
God Genesis 6:8 says that with all the
upheaval of sin in the world, Noah found favor
in the eyes of the Lord. When you know that God is for you, who can be
against you?
An Assignment
God handpicked Noah with all of his hiccups and hang-ups to build an Ark that
would survive the coming flood. Have you asked the Lord what is your
assignment in life?
Plans
He told Noah to build a big boat some 450 feet long, 30 feet high and 50 feet
wide out of gopher wood. This would be large enough to hold female and male
animals of every kind.
Time Most commentaries estimate it took Noah 100
years to build the ark. Man’s problem is we want God to fulfill our vision
overnight. Remember, “To everything there is a season.” (Eccl :1) Don’t allow yourself to be frustrated with
God’s Time clock.
Tenacity That
is a determination to stay the course until the vision is complete.
Delight When you delight yourself in God, He will
give you the desires of your heart. Ps
37: 4
Promise
What God says, He is able to bring
it to pass. God is not human, that he should lie.
