Daily Devotional

Ever heard the phrase, "He's had the wool thrown over his eyes"? Well, sadly, that's a lot of Christians today. Satan has thrown the wool over the eyes of Gods children and has made them content with just living life a day at a time, waiting to perish. Surely God did not create you to just sit around and wait, like the ten virgins at the gate of the wedding feast?

There is a vision that God has for each one of us. There is a purpose and a well-developed plan that God, in all His wisdom and knowledge, has intricately crafted together just for you. Have you caught onto the vision or has Satan thrown the wool over your eyes too?

Jonah had the wool thrown over his eyes. Instead of going to Nineveh, as God instructed him to, he jumped onto a boat and headed for Tarshish. That's what a lot of Christians are doing currently. God wants you to head in one direction and you're on a one-way ticket to nowhere, heading in a completely different direction to where God wants to take you.

Why must you have a vision for your life? Because without a vision you will perish. But there is more to this story than just your death. When you are not living the vision God has planned for you, other people are perishing too. Other people are being defeated by Satan. Other people are losing their eternal lives to a lake of fire.

Even Satan knows the plans God has for your life. And he will do what he can to distract you from getting into that vision. Why? Because God does not think small. When God planned your life He planned something magnificent. And Satan does not want you to know this magnificent plan. The longer he can keep you out of it, the more people he can get to join him in eternal damnation. Call upon God; allow God to reveal your future to you. He is the God of light — He wants you living in His light and revelation.
