Still can't count em'......

I was just out for a little evening jog and on the cool down walk home I noticed what a beautiful night out it was. My thoughts immediately jumped to Genesis 15 when the Lord told Abraham then named Abram to go outside and count the stars...so I decided to count. After about 200 or so with seemingly more appearing out of nowhere every second and not having even turned my head...I decided to take God's word for it...you can't count the stars in the sky...there's too many of them!
This got me thinking about the fact that this biblical account was all God's response to Abrams desire for 1 child. 1 heir of his own. If you are a Christan you are the seed of Abraham and an heir to the same promise that the Lord made him. I believe in this day and hour that the Lord wants to expand your vision! What kind of God given dreams are in your heart? What talents, abilities, and desires reside on the inside of you that can some how some way be tied to building God's Kingdom...I'm not talking about being a pastor, teacher, evangelist, prophet, or apostle necessarily...I'm talking about God given destiny. Because before you were born in your mother's womb the Lord knew you and designated your purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). Psalm 37:4 says "delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." We all have fleshly desires inside of us that are selfish and ungodly...but we also all have desires on the inside of us that were given to us by the Lord before we were ever born...Delighting in him is the key to unlocking those God given desires...But not only does the Lord want to open your heart to the desires that reside insight you that come from him but he also wants to give you the fulfillment of those desires. He wants to equip you to not only achieve what you dream but so much more! What's your dream today? Now multiply it by the number of stars in the sky! That's God's dream for you! Seek first the kingdom of God...and all these things will be added unto you! God has a great plan for your life. Believing that and loving him are the first things we've got to do to see his desires and our desires become reality!

Count the stars!!

Is...was...is to come...

Revelation 1:8 - Jesus describes himself as Alpha and Omega...beginning and end. the one who is, who was, and who is to come. Wrap you mind around that....oh wait...you can't. That's the thing about the Lord, the second you think you have him figured out...you're wrong. But that doesn't mean we stop striving to know him more. We've got to know about him, and we've got to know him intimately. We've got to know his word...we've got to know his voice. We've got to strive to feel his powerful presence...we've got to walk by faith and not by sight...knowing he is there and directing our steps when we feel nothing! We've got to walk out the practicality of scripture...we've got to believe the Lord for signs, wonders, and the supernatural.

The tension of the scripture is a beautiful thing! God is big! God is vast! He's beyond comprehending fully...but the more you seek him the more of himself he will reveal to you! He's here...but he's coming in greater measure and greater power to a people who will seek him! Don't forget to be a God seeker today!
