How big is your vision for what God wants to do with you?
One of the most amazing aspects of the story of Abraham is where his story begins; as an old man. It is almost like the Disney movie “Up”, where Carl Fredricksen has lived this incredible life with his wife. After taking you through the story of their life, Disney embraces their time honored tradition of killing the female lead (I’m looking at you Bambi, Nemo, and others). Carl then embraces this calling on his life that for one reason or another he has put off. In a similar way, Abraham begins his adventure at a later age and look at what God promises him.
Read Genesis 13:14-16 and journal your thoughts
You would have to think that when Abraham and Sarah (Take that Disney) left, they were not expecting a promise like this. God’s promise would seem extravagant to just about anyone let alone a couple in their retirement years. So often the vision God has for our lives is so much bigger than we could ever imagine. At times this is what makes it so hard to follow God’s calling on our lives; because often it doesn’t seem to make sense. God called Abraham to leave everything he’d ever known at the age of 75.
What does God’s call on your life look like? What is God’s vision for your life? Could it be that even with all the choices you’ve made, and the circumstances of your life, God has some incredible vision for your life?
Today pray that God would show you His vision for your life
