The vision is...for an appointed time. Habakkuk 2:3
Wait! You're getting ahead of God! When you do that you get into trouble. Visions are for "an appointed time", and you need to know when that is.
Often we don't pursue our dreams because we're afraid of failing; it's safer to nurse them in private instead of before those who might ridicule us. Chuck Swindoll says, "We're short of eagles and running over with parrots. Content to sit safely on our evangelical perches and repeat religious words, we're fast becoming overpopulated with bright-coloured birds having soft bellies, big beaks, and little heads.What would help would be more keen-eyed, wide winged creatures willingto soar...exploring the illimitable ranges of the Kingdom."
Listen: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed" ( Proverbs 16:3 ). God's the One who gives us courage, plus a safety net under the tightrope we're afraid to step out on. When we"make plans - counting on God to direct" us ( Proverbs 16:9 ), He strengthens us to do what we've never done before. He empowers us to get off square one! Remember, going out on a limb can be scary - but that's where the best fruit is.
Even though you think your dream is dead, Christ can revive it with aword. Remember Lazarus? Well, the Christ who returned him to his family alive and well is still in business! In fact, He may be waiting for you to make a move so He can work a miracle for you too. So, get up and get going!
