DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3

For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits.

That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said:

John 3:3

Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing.

Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves.

The question then is:

* Can we still see heaven? John 3:3

* Are we still zealous? John 2:17

* Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42

* Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7

or

Has the cares and worries of life and service taking away the very root of our salvation?

Romans 12:2

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

The reason Habakkuk was asked to write it down was for us not to forget but to read it continually that we might run with it.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

This morning may we awake to that first impulse of when we first believed.

May our experience and maturity not take us out, but bring us closer, refreshing us and increasing our love for God.

May persecutions and trials not take us away but bring us closer to God making us stronger and stronger day after day.

May our prosperity not take us away from God, but bring us closer and closer to Him.

We will fulfil purpose.

In all our getting and achievements, we would not lose the essential, but increase in faithfulness.

O help us Good Lord 

PRAYER

Loving Father let nothing take me away from You as I grow older may I also grow closer and closer to You. You are my everything Lord, glory to Your name Lord forevermore.

He calls us blessed.

Love
