'IT IS GOD HIMSELF WHO HAS MADE US WHAT WE ARE...' EPHESIANS 2:10

 

Before others catch the vision, it's born in the heart of one person. Before one Hebrew slave caught the vision of the Promised Land, Moses 'saw' it. He saw a people no longer bound by chains, building homes and businesses, growing crops and worshipping God. But how did he keep his vision alive in a wilderness? The Bible says: '...he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible' (Hebrews 11:27 NIV). Moses was sustained by what he saw. So your vision, if it's of God, will sustain you through the worst of times. Actually, without a vision we perish. God will never give you a vision you can fulfill alone. He'll bring others alongside to compensate for your weaknesses. He gave Joshua to Moses to be his personal assistant. He gave him Aaron and Hur to hold up his hands so that the battle could be won. He gave him his father-in-law, Jethro, to save him from a leader's most dreaded fate; death by administration. Finally He gave him 70 more leaders with the right 'spirit' to complete the job. 'But I'm getting old,' you say. Moses changed his life at 40 and found his destiny at 80. Had you seen him at 40 you'd have said, 'Surely he's the man for the job: educated by royalty, trained by generals, with instant access to Pharaoh. But you'd have been wrong. The 80-year-old Moses may smell like a shepherd and speak like a farmer, but he's God's choice! When you surrender your life to God you'll discover something wonderful; God's not limited by your limitations!
