Managing God’s Vision

By Michael Youssef, Ph.D.

God gives His vision to those who are good stewards. God is looking for stewards who will manage His plans well, even in the face of opposition, frustration, impatience, or even spiritual attack.

As we follow God’s timeline, we may experience anxious moments and frustration while we wait for God’s plan to unfold. Satan will tempt us to bypass God’s timeline and question God’s direction. Yet God entrusts His vision to those He knows will persevere through criticism, seasons of waiting, and spiritual warfare.

God also gives His vision to those who are faithful in small things. He will give greater vision to those who are being faithful with what is already in their charge. The Bible teaches us that this is how God rewards His faithful servants. “You have been faithful with a few things: I will put you in charge of many things” (Matthew 25:21, 23).

The good news is that it is never too late to start seeking God’s vision. We are always at the right point in our lives to decide to honor God and to delight in Him.

Prayer: God, I pray that I will be a good steward of the vision You give me and that I will persevere no matter what challenges I face. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised” (Hebrews 10:36).
