“Lost in the Detail”
By Ps AJ Chuson of Zeal Youth and Young Adults
God doesn’t want to just bless you for a moment, but He also wants to bless everything around you. God thinks about the bigger picture and plans accordingly. At times you may feel like you have no clue at all what God is doing right now and that’s perfectly fine, you don’t have to know every detail.
However, If you want to see God shifting your life in the fine details it would be a good practice to write down a testimony for every good thing you can remember, that God has done for you in your life, and when you finish that list, write one for each day- be intentional in your season. Not only will you come to notice that God has been moving, but you will also develop and create an atmosphere where your world is no longer about what you receive but you may begin to focus on where those blessings are coming from. This is the earth shattering revelation that we must understand and believe, reflecting on Jesus’ prayer “On Earth as it is in Heaven” we come to realise that God has full intention for His Kingdom, His realm, His atmosphere to not only be accessible but to be mirrored on Earth.
As many scientists know, a planet’s atmosphere is dependent not on its surroundings, but rather on the state of the planet- its very core. Likewise, you are created with an atmosphere created by God, for God. However that atmosphere is maintained, grown or lessened by what you do with yourself. This is the freewill that God has given you- what will you do with your atmosphere?
Today, right this very moment, you can shift your atmosphere from a place of doubt and fear to a place of confidence and hope. The book of Galatians mentions all the fruits of the Spirit- these are the very things our atmosphere should contain, is this what your atmosphere contains?
We need to ask ourselves the hard questions, the scary questions. Because the shifting of atmosphere doesn’t start from the outside, it starts from within, the very core, the deepest part of you.
