Seeing Beyond The Now

Are you easily moved by what you see in the natural?

Living and leading by what you see in front of you will never break you through. No great leader or successful person allowed her current reality to keep her from her aspired future. Walt Disney, before anything was ever built, looked at an empty plot of land and envisioned Space Mountain. On the day they cut the ribbon and dedicated the world renown ride everyone sighed because he could not 'see it.' However, when his wife stepped up to the
podium she reminded the crowd that he saw it, he saw it before any one of them saw it; he saw it when the lot was seemingly empty, he saw it.

Are you easily moved by what you see in the natural?

Breaking through in your life, whether it is a job, relationship, or pursuing your dreams begins with seeing something that is seemingly not there. In every area of your life you are desiring to grow you need to lay hold of what is still yet to be seen. You have to see the unseen before it is seen by those around you. Paul the Apostle said, "We walk by faith, not by sight... We fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal..."

Are you easily moved by what you see in the natural?

When things become difficult and don't seem to pan out the way you visualized do you throw in the towel or plunge ahead. Part of seeing things materialize is expecting the difficulties that will be faced in the process and preparing your heart to push through when they come. How many times did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. get imprisoned? How many times was he beaten? How many times was he threatened? However, he saw something people had not yet seen. He knew difficulty was coming his way yet he refused to steer off the path. He fixed his eyes
on what was unseen all the while thrusting his whole self into the process of making it a reality.

Are you easily moved by what you see in the natural?

Today, refuse to be moved by what is in front of you. Rather, determine in your heart and mind to not stop until what God has promised has come to pass. What do you see? Not in the natural, but in the eternal. What is not, but must be? 

Refuse to back down. Refuse to be moved by small set backs. Press ahead, lay hold of it by faith, move forward with every ounce of fiber in your being. No great leader or successful person allowed her current reality to keep her from her aspired future; there is greatness inside of you, don't back down.
