Vision (3)
'Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.' HABAKKUK 2:3
When God gives you a vision, He also gives you the provision needed to fulfil it! Often He'll use something you already possess even though you don't know it. Faced with feeding 5000 hungry people, the disciples felt totally useless. They weren't in one of the big towns or cities where they could run around the local shops - they were in the middle of nowhere! But Jesus said, 'How many loaves do you have...Go and see' (Mark 6:38 NIV).
God will open your spiritual eyes to see what you already have or is within your reach. He'll bless it and then get you using it! Stop making excuses, feeling sorry for yourself, talking yourself down or being intimidated by people who say you don't have what it takes. Listen to God! He's provided everything to get you to where you need to be.
Paul writes, 'Now glory be to God who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we could ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes' (Ephesians 3:20 TLB). Notice the words 'far more' and 'his mighty power at work within us.'
Look in the mirror and say, 'I am full of resources. God has given me everything I need to fulfil His plan for my life.' This isn't hype, pride or mind-over-matter. It's faith talk!
