“I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land…” (7)
There are three levels of living. First is the see – it level, which is the bottom level. Anybody can live on this level. Everybody has the opportunity to see. The see – it level of living is faith opportunity. We can all be looking from the same spot and not see the same thing.
The second level is the say – it level, and that’s what I call faith’s word. To see it is the opportunity for faith; to say it is the word of faith. That is where we begin to verbally commit ourselves to what has gripped our vision. The Bible is full of say-it faith. The Word of God teaches us, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord… you shall be saved (Rom 10:9) Then comes the seize-it level of living. This is the level at which faith becomes action. It’s more than verbiage, and it’s more than vision. It’s a vital action within our hearts and lives. Since everyone starts on level one, the see it level, we all have the opportunity to grab. Hold of faith’s opportunity. As you climb steps, however, fewer and fewer people climb with you. When you get to the seize – it stage, the action stage, you will find yourself in an elite group. Most people never climb this high. They have missed faith’s opportunity and life’s action (John C Maxwell)
PRAYER LINE: My Father and my God. please give me the courage to take opportunities that come my way in my journey through life Amen.
