Question number three sparked much thought around my home. When God looks at the future for the people in our community, what do you think He sees? It was two simple words with so vast an idea that it is almost uncomprehendable unless you truly understand the kingdom frame of mind - HIS PLAN. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God has a plan for this city in relation to His Kingdom. His plan is not the state of our community now with examples of divorce, sickness, job loss, orphans, abuse, addictions, etc. If this is not His plan....then what is His plan? The Kingdom...His rule and reign within every man, woman, and child in this community. How do we get to this point? Chris left us with a question today that could answer this question. What would it look like if you were truly filled with the Spirit of God? The effect of that, being filled with the Spirit, would change lives all around this city. We would be those willing to serve others, suffering for our faith, and boldly proclaiming the Kingdom through our actions and deeds.
The song by Brandon Heath, "Give Me Your Eyes" is a great reminder.
Let our prayer be "Give me your eyes Lord to see everything I keep missing. Give me your heart for those forgotten. Give me your love for humanity."
