Balance Vision with Patience
Between the time God speaks about the fulfilment of something and the time it gets fully manifested, there’s always a gap. And that is where patience and trust get highly tested.

When will you release grace to your situation? When will you stop calculating happenings by your limited understanding? God is the ancient God, who knows the end from the beginning. If He tells you, “My child, come to me in prayer. I will show you things you don’t know” (see Jeremiah 33:3), it’s not for fun. Instead, it’s for your safety.
How easy for the whole land of Egypt to criticise Joseph – newly promoted prime minister for storing up food in cities for seven years. They didn’t know famine was coming. But He had revelation of what’s coming. To learn how to save money and resources for your life in the future, ask God for divine revelation for your life years to come.
Yes, you have issues and needs. But you don’t have to use human calculations to solve all of them, especially when disappointed. Turn them over to the Lord. Let Him show you how to go about those problems. You’ll have peace and awesome outcomes.
Prayer is an essential part of each Christian’s life. It is a way for us to communicate with God, to ask for his help, to express our gratitude, and to grow in our relationship with Him.
Starting your day with God is one of the best ways to set yourself up for a successful and fulfilling day. It means making a conscious effort to prioritise your relationship with God first thing in the morning before anything else.
Prayer is good but becomes more directional when there’s a watching.
God has fixed your destiny. But you need His Word to teach you both what to do with each step you make and, at the same time, give you a vision of your future so you won’t miss your providential way. That is what it means for the Word to be both a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path (Psalm 119:105).
Seeds don’t grow because you put them in the soil but because you’re consistently providing the necessities required for their germination. Form lasting habits that’ll keep reminding you and building upon the vision God has given you.
In Proverbs 4:25, the Bible says, “let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids right before you.” Why? Because it’s crucial to focus. However, focus without vision is vain because there’ll be no specific traceable path to plan and follow. Follow Jesus. He’s the only One who can give you a purpose-driven life.
When the Earth flooded after the downpour and the dove Noah sent out on the third occasion never came back, everything showed that he can move out of the ark. But he still waited until God told him to move out with his family (Genesis 8:14-16). Your knowledge doesn’t override God’s leadership over your life. Submit to Him.
Like David prayed for God to show him His ways, make it a heart desire to know how God does His own works from the day-to-day activities of your life.
