How Well Do You See?

What do you see beyond your now? The world is full of goodies and bad stuffs, what do you see coming to you? You are a product of what you see and you are also limited by how far you see. How well you see today determines your story tomorrow. This post stresses the importance of maximizing your vision. 

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what see you? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the Lord to me, You have well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it – Jeremiah 1:11-12 (KJV)

And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are-northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever – Genesis 13:14-15 (NKJV)

How well do you see? When Jeremiah saw well, God said He was going to hasten His word to perform what Jeremiah saw. Also God told Abraham to look up and see, for whatever he saw God was going to give it to him and his descendants forever. Certainly, he didn’t see what his descendants inherited with his physical eyes which are grossly limited. He saw the vast inheritance with his eyes of faith. 

What you see is what God hastens to give you. What does that tell you? God is only limited by what you see. God is the Almighty God, what he says He will do. There is nothing impossible with Him (Luke 1:37), only the level to which our eyes of faith can carry us limits Him.  

God is a big God and expects His children to think big! Yes, you have to start small but your vision should go beyond that starting point. Your vision determines how big you become in life. See through the eyes of the word of God and you will get there.

God grants you the desires of your heart (psalm 34:7) and you are what you think (Proverbs 23:7). If you desire small so will you get and if you think big so will you become. We don’t glorify God when we are behind in the things of life as children of God. He has given us all things that pertain to life (2 Peter 1:3) and richly gives us all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17). All he wants is that we should not put our trust in anything else but Him.
