Sharing the Vision with Humility
Today, let’s approach the conversation with our pastor with humility and a desire for God’s will to be done as we share the vision of building a House of Prayer.
Suggested Reading:
1. Devotional Reading: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” – Proverbs 29:18 Reflect on the importance of casting a clear vision for the House of Prayer and its potential impact on our church community.
Reflection: Through active listening and a willingness to submit to His leading, we can effectively share the vision with humility, trusting in God’s providence.
EGW Quote:
Those who seek God in secret telling the Lord their needs and pleading for help, will not plead in vain. “Thy Father which seeth in secret Himself shall reward thee openly.” As we make Christ our daily companion we shall feel that the powers of an unseen world are all around us; and by looking unto Jesus we shall become assimilated to His image. By beholding, we become changed. The character is softened, refined, and ennobled for the heavenly kingdom. The sure result of our communication and fellowship with our Lord will be to increase piety, purity, and fervor. There will be a growing intelligence in prayer. We are receiving a divine education, and this is illustrated in a life of diligence and zeal. Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 84, 85.
It is too late in the day for a superficial work. It is time to arise and shine for the glory of God has risen upon you. It is too late to play into the hands of the enemy. The plowshare must go deep; the fallow ground must be broken up. We need to have our hearts broken. We need to feel how offensive is sin before God. We are to keep the heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Review and Herald vol. 2, p. 287)
