We see an end...God sees a beginning! God's
eyes sweep to and fro searching for those who need and believe in
Him- desiring the security of His love- wanting to do life with Him. God
wants us to run to Him and rest in Him like a child who realizes
they've wandered too far. When the child sees their parent- they run to them and the parent scoops them up- hugging them
tightly and reassuring them that they are safe. We
wander off in our self sufficiency when we try to fix things-meditating
more on what we see than what God sees. We see a closed door-He sees an
opened door, we see death-He sees life, we see no way-He sees His way.
When we see life without His provisions...we've wandered too far-we
need to quickly run to Him and rest in Him-His provisions. We're to
meditate on His Word day and night, careful to do everything written
in it-not allowing it to depart from our mouth-then we will be
prosperous and successful. Whatever God asks us to do-He equips us to
do. He supplies His
sufficiency-we're to meditate on what He says...day and night; He always
meets us where we are in our understanding. Be deliberate in meditating
on the Word, but know the enemy's bait- one tiny
shift, a single thought and you can see disaster...but as quickly as you
see disaster-you must choose to believe God's provisions. The key is
"quickly and consistently" run back to God's truth in your mind. You
don't have to know how God will provide-to believe...He will provide.
The enemy wants you to focus on how God will provide-he baits you with
questions...how do you think God will make this happen, do you think He
wants you to initiate the process, so what's your game plan? Know the
bait he lures you with. Run to God and rest in Him...every situation
you see as an end-God sees as a beginning. Meditate on His Word day and
night, don't let it depart from your mouth, know God must empower
you to do what He asks of you-then you will be prosperous and
successful. You can-because God will through you...will you let Him???

Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
