Proverbs  29:18 KJV ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keeps the law happy is he.’

DAILY READING  – •          – 1 Corinthians 16; 2 Kings 12-13; Micah 3

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a leader of the Civil Rights movement in America and  faced enormous challenges as a result. His first major protest was the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott of 1955-1956, when he, along with Rosa Parks, protested conditions that African-Americans faced on buses in that city. Under the laws of Jim Crow, African-Americans were forced to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery and other southern cities when whites boarded, and African-American riders were often treated unfairly and rudely. From the outset, Dr. King faced hostility from segregationists, and his life was threatened repeatedly. For example, during the bus boycott, his house was bombed, and he was arrested during a campaign to desegregate the city of Birmingham, Alabama and he was jailed several times during his lifetime.

In one of his famous speeches Rev. Martin Luther king said ‘we got difficult days ahead but it doesn’t really matter now, because I have been to the mountain top, I just want to do God’s will’.

Getting to the mountain top, getting to know God’s will gave him the stamina to forge ahead.  Men go to the mountain top to get a view of the promised land. You must see it before you can march into it. And you can’t see it until you seek God. Only God can show you what lies ahead and when He shows it to you, it is as good as done. This is the  secret of men who succeed,  they seek God to see it before they walk into it. And when they see it, it gives them the confidence to move against any opposition, knowing God is backing them.

No one succeeds by accident, men who succeed already see their success before it comes to pass. And this is what gives them the confidence to keep moving. Despite failures and oppositions, they know beyond doubt that at the end of the rainbow lies a pot of gold.  Indeed you must see beyond the ordinary, before you can do the extraordinary.

Life is a battle, there is an enemy that doesn’t want you to succeed, he is battling viciously against your progress, he is marking your every step trying to get you to stumble, therefore you can’t afford to  keep moving about in life blindly without knowing where you are going.  Jesus said ‘if a man walks in the night he stumbles, because he knows not where he is going’.  To walk successfully, you need light, you need revelation, you need vision. You can’t keep living your life by guesswork or by your human calculations. You need divine illumination to get ahead. One word from God can change everything for you. You need to hear from God for yourself. And we hear God through His Word. Take time to sit down with The Word and hear what He has to say concerning your situation. When you can hear God on any issue, then it is as good as done.

Prayer

Lord, please  help me to hear You clearly concerning Your will for me, no more guess work, Please help me to always receive Your precise instructions, before I take any major step in Jesus Name. .
