DEVO. 11.07.24
"I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint." (Habakkuk 2:1-4)
- What do you see?
- What you see is determined by where you stand!
- If you are standing in the presence of God, you will see what He sees.
- It is absolutely crucial for you to be able to see what God sees for you to be successful in your Christian walk.
- Habakkuk was an Old Testament prophet who knew that in order to speak for God, he had to be in position to hear from God.
- So he positioned himself up high and close to God so that he had God’s vision.
- If you aren't positioning yourself close to God, it means that you have to reposition yourself.
- You have to intentionally move away from where you once were.
- So the question is, where have you positioned yourself?
- Have you removed all distractions?
- Have you cleared out all doubts and fears?
- Do you believe that God can do mighty things in and through you?
- 1 Cor. 2:9 says, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
- For those who love Him!
- Those who have spent time with Him are those who put themselves in position to hear from Him.
- You can't even imagine what God wants to do with you and through you... it's that great!
- God stands outside of time!
- In Rev. 22:13, He says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
- He sees the "completed" you.
- He doesn't see you through your failures and mistakes.
- He doesn't see you through your weaknesses and doubts.
- He sees you through His Son, Jesus Christ!
- That's why 2 Cor. 5:17 says, "That anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"
- He sees you as more than Conqueror! (Rom. 8:37)
- He sees you as mature and complete, not lacking anything! (James 1:4)
- He sees you as righteous. ( 2 Cor. 5:21)
- He sees you as significant and able to do all things! (Phil. 4:13)
- He sees you as the light of the world. (Eph 5:8)
- He sees you as the salt of the earth. (Matt. 5:13)
- Can you see what He sees today?
- When you see what He sees, you will know what He has planned for you.
- It’s called a personal vision!
- Write it down and then run with it!
- So today, get alone with Him and wait in His presence for His God-sized vision for your life.
- Go make a difference and change your world because of who you are and what you can see!
- Have a great Thursday!
