Proverbs
29:18
21st Century King James Version
(KJ21)
18 Where there is no vision, the people
perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
In this world nothing is what it seems. The passions of the world become
the distractions to GOD’s voice in each of our lives. We are bombarded with the
white noise that floods our five senses to full capacity on a daily basis. And
over time this state of existence becomes the norm. We get used to the display
of the world that the devil uses to keep us from seeing the deeper calling GOD
has placed before us. We entertain ourselves and let GOD’s vision get replaced
with the pipe dreams of the world. The
dreams are for a moment, but GOD’s vision leads into eternity! If we give in, and if we let ourselves become
distracted, in the end we will be left with feelings of emptiness and longing.
Like a millionaire that losses all of his friends because of a shortage of
funds, we will be looking for the dream to fulfill us, but it cannot. The dream
cannot answer the eternal questions that GOD’s vision is designed to lead us
to.
The dreams of the world look, sound, smell, taste, and feel good. The dreams
of the world will wet your whistle for a short time. Just like the right sum of
money can buy you the best night with the best prostitute you can find! She
will listen to your problems, and provide for the needs of your flesh, but when
your money is gone so is she. However
all the money in the world will never buy a woman’s real love, loyalty and
respect. The other woman represents the worlds dream, but your family and wife
represent GOD’s vision! You can wake up
from a dream, but GOD’s vision is destined and placed in your life specifically
to be fulfilled. The dream is a distraction, but GOD’s vision is a blueprint to
reach a specific goal.
We must train ourselves to be sensitive to GOD’s voice and become open to
the vision he is bestowing upon us. We need to have our motherly ears on. Isn’t
it funny that in the middle of Chucky Cheese on a Saturday during 16
simultaneous birthday parties, a mother can pick out her child’s voice from the
rest of the children playing! When have we trained our ears to hear GOD calling
us in the middle of every distraction the world places in our path? Don’t just
wonder what GOD has planned for you, seek it, and claim it! The vision is yours
to fulfill in the strength of GOD, in Jesus’ name! Drop the dreams of the world
and grab hold to GOD’s purpose and vision for your life!
Be encouraged!
I love you all ways and in all ways!
Rev. M. Harrison
Asking God to train our senses to respond to Him is a minor task that has a major impact!
