We must wait upon God if we are to see Him, to have a vision of Him. The time element in vision is essential. Our hearts are like a sensitive photographer's plate; and in order to have God revealed there, we must sit at His feet a long time. The troubled surface of a lake will not reflect an object.
Our lives must be quiet and restful if we would see God. There is power in the sight of some things to affect one's life. Have you noticed how a quiet sunset will bring peace to a troubled heart.
Our vision of God will always transform our life.
There have been many men whose visions of God have transformed their lives.
- Jacob saw God at Jabbok's ford, and became Israel.
- The vision of God transformed Gideon from a coward into a valiant soldier.
- The vision of Christ changed Thomas from a doubting follower into a loyal, devout disciple.
There have been many men whose visions of God have transformed their lives.
- William Carey saw God, and left his shoemaker's bench and went to India.
- David Livingstone saw God, and left all to follow Him through the jungles of dark Africa.
- David Brainerd caught a vision of God and became a missionary to the native Indians in eastern Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.
Scores and hundreds have had visions of God, and are today in the uttermost parts of the earth working for the speedy evangelization of the heathen.
Do you hear the whisperings of God. He is always whispering to us, only we do not hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes on.
