Visionaries

At times I consider myself to be a visionary. I can see things that can and should be done. Sometimes I even believe that God is telling me to do something. My problem comes in the next step, trusting God to do what I believe He has shown me. The so called vision is worthless without the faith to believe that God can and will do it. It shames me to think of the things God wanted to do through me but my faith was too weak to believe.

Hebrews 11:32-34 speaks of men of faith who believed God and God used them to do extraordinary things. “And what shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.” All of these people were ordinary in every way when God called them to do something extraordinary. They accomplished these great things through faith in the One who called them. They knew that God was able to do what He said He would do. They also knew that God was good and would accomplish good through them.

What does God want you to do? Believe Him! Let faith help you know that God is able and that He is good to you! Be ready to do extraordinary things.
