Be Specific

If we look at the Word of God in Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NKJV) it says, “Write the 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.”

I really do believe that in this time of lockdown when Covid 19 is running rampant, we really need to keep the vision. We need to be specific and we need to really seek the Lord for His absolute plan for our lives. This is not a time to be like the waves of the sea as we see in the Book of James, being tossed to and fro. We need to keep the course as they say, because if we don’t we will surely flounder, and we will eventually sink. It’s like sitting on the top of a hill, watching a man with a chainsaw cutting trees down in the forest, but he is cutting around in circles. When he looks at the man sitting on top of the hill, that man sees clearly and will direct him in the path that he must follow. The man sitting on top of the hill is Jesus Christ and the man cutting with the chainsaw is you and I. If we do not follow the explicit instruction of the Lord, we will fail. That is why that scripture, Proverbs 29:18 (NKJV) says, “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint”. 

We really need to keep ourselves disciplined. We need to cross the T’s and dot the I’s as they say and carry on taking one day at a time. That is how you get through any crisis situation. We need to be steadfast; we need to keep our eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will direct us right through this very awkward time where no one seems to know what is going on or where they are going. I’m talking about international leaders of nations; they have no idea; they change their attitude and their ideas daily. It can be very disheartening, and it can cause a lot of unnecessary fear and stress and heartache especially if you do not stick to your game plan. 

Remember what Smith Wigglesworth said, “God said it, I believe it and that settles it.” That is exactly how we need to conduct ourselves at this time and the Lord will see us right through to the other side.

Do not worry, do not stress, have good quiet times, get up early in the morning, spend lots of time with your family and just do what you have been doing in the past. There is no need for you to try and re-invent the wheel at this stage in your life.

God bless you
