“Lost in the Detail”

By Ps AJ Chuson of Zeal Youth and Young Adults

I’d assume the reason you wanted to read this plan is because you know God has something for you- or you think you do, or perhaps not at all! But with any of the previously mentioned you want some direction in your life. However, it’s vital for you to know where you are currently in your foundations and what it’s built from before we add anything on top, or remove things from below.

Identifying your foundations determines what can be built on it and what can’t be built on it, and for some this can be a very difficult pill to swallow. You may have been blessed with a God given vision, but if you don’t have the right foundation, God can never help build you up there. For those of you that haven’t received a vision from God, then perhaps what’s missing isn’t the lack of foundation, but the lack of ground for God to even build a foundation. Yes, God has a plan for you, however if you don’t allow Him any space to move or influence your life, you’ll miss the very thing He’s doing right beneath you. So the question should no longer be: “Why isn’t God moving in my life?”, but rather “Why am I not aware that God is always moving in my life?”.

In saying all this, there is also a third category of people that struggle with purpose because they feel they are not worth God’s time. Let me tell you, there’s nothing that you’ve done, currently doing or going to do that will disqualify you from experiencing all that God has for you. Matthew 10:1, NIV, says “Then Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and every illness.”. This includes Judas Iscariot. That’s right, God has entrusted a vision, a calling, a purpose onto Judas despite knowing that this very man will betray him. 

God will never hold back on you, and if you feel like you’re lacking these things then it means that it’s not God withdrawing His promises, it’s you withdrawing your hands and heart to receive what He’s got for you and for those around you for you to see and share.

Let’s be transparent and real here. Let’s be bold enough and dare to ask these key questions. Doing so will affect your very foundation of trusting in Him. In regards to what’s happening or going to happen in your life, ask yourself: “Am I currently allowing Him space and access to my foundation?” Or for some of you that haven’t experienced Him influence your life, ask yourself: “Would I be willing enough to give Him space and access to create these life changing foundations?”. These are fundamental questions for a transformed, Holy, kingdom based foundation. Because without a foundation intended for His Kingdom, there can’t be a structure intended for His kingdom.

Questions:

1. What vision do you believe God has placed into you?

2. How long have you had that vision for?

3. Would you allow God to do things in your life that don’t make logical sense?
