DAY 1

Everything you can comprehend through faith’s vision belongs to you. Look as far as you can, for it is all yours. All you long to be as a Christian, and all you long to do for God, are within the possibilities of faith. Then draw closer to him, and with your Bible before you, and your soul completely open to the power of the Spirit, allow your entire being to receive the baptism of his presence. As he opens your understanding, enabling you to see his fullness, believe he has it all for you. Accept for yourself all the promises of his Word, all the desires he awakens within you, and all the possibilities of what you could become as a follower of Jesus. All the land you see is given to you.

The provision of his grace, which helps us along the way to the fulfillment of his promise, is actually tied to the inner vision God has given us. He who puts the natural instinct in the heart of a bird to fly across a continent in search of a warmer climate is too good to deceive it. Just as we are confident he placed the instinct within the bird, we can be assured he has also provided balmy breezes and spring-like sun to meet it when it arrives.

And he who breathes heavenly hope into our hearts will not deceive or fail us when we press forward toward its realization.
