Life has a habit of painting pictures in us that many a time are limiters to our progress. The struggles of life form bonds that tie us to pain and may in some cases cause us to go down on the path of life instead of taking flight into greatness. Abraham and Sarah were barren, in need of a heir, promised by God of a miracle but wondering when. Along the way they tried to help God which resulted in a mess. But all this time God kept encouraging Abraham to maintain the right picture of the promise being fulfilled and not being denied inspite of delay. Count the stars, see the sand, images that were to reinforce the picture of the promise God had given of a son.
Moses in the desert, having run away from Egypt on the count of a crime, encountered God who changed what he had settled for life and gave him an assignment that was bigger than his dreams. God never gives you a task that will not require His help to accomplish. To accomplish the assisgnment of God, Moses had to first adjust the image of his identity. Who you see within yourself is who you are becoming!! As soon as Abraham could see Sarah giving birth to a son, it was easy for him to call her Sarah and also change his name to Abraham. Until you change your identity to line up with the dreams fuelled by promises from the Word of God, dreams remain a vision and not reality. The bridge between vision and reality begins with you encoding your identity with the correct picture drawn by the promise based Word of God. Once Moses saw that God would make him a 'god' before Pharaoh then he could walk boldly in the assignment given to him Exodus 7:1.
How do I change what I see? Habakuk, an old testament prophet gives us the answer.
"Write the heavenly vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:2-3."
