Do You See What God Sees
There are always two issues forever standing before the Body of Christ. The first: God’s vision for man. The second is: Man’s vision for God. We read in Jeremiah 29 of God’s vision for man. Plans to prosper us and give us a future. I would to God that God’s plan for man was more important to man than man’s plan for God. Vision that originates in man and ultimately serves the purposes of man is a misuse of vision. Any attempt to create our own way then ask Jesus to bless it, misses the mark and leaves us short of the eternal goal.
In Habakkuk 2 we are told to “record the vision” not create the vision, make the vision or somehow generate our own vision. Ours is to simply see what He sees then record what we see so we can run with it. Like the “holy men of old” we are to be carried along” by Holy Spirit.
The vision God gives is vision born in the eternal. God’s vision is vision centered in Christ and focused to serve the purposes of Christ. The Biblical division of labor defines Jesus as the author and the finisher and man as the recorder and the runner. Abraham tried to be the creator and produced Ishmael. Jacob tried to create and spent most of his live “jacobing” his way through. This is why we are instructed so often to “wait on God.” If man was the creator of the vision he could create whenever he wanted but being we are the receiver not the creator, we must wait the appointed time. God works by appointment only. As we wait God works, He works on our behalf to bring His purposes to pass…through man. The vision God gives comes at the appointed time not the desired time or the convenient time. God stands outside of time and orders our live eternally, panoramically, dimensionally…consequently He has no need to guess or take a chance. When time reaches its fullness God orders our destiny and we respond accordingly.
So the issue that is constantly before us is ordering our lives according to what He sees not according to what we want. Consequently we must see what He sees in relationship to our future. See what He sees in relationship to our beliefs. See what He sees in relationship to our involvements. See what He sees in relationship to our responses. If we are pursuing a self created vision as opposed to a recorded vision, it is time to lay that vision down for the vision that is by Him, for Him and through Him.
The purpose of this KMI website is to help those who visit see what God sees. As we seek to address and tackle the issues of the day, our deepest desire is do so with the perspective of the Kingdom not the opinions of man.
