I've noticed something about vision. When you talk about your dream with other people, they don't get it. They look at you blankly and then tell you all the reasons why it would never work. It's not their vision, so it seems impossible to them. But to you, if it's God-given, the vision is as good as done. The hard work is just a formality.
This is the Grand Canyon Skywalk on the Hualapai Indian Reservation at Grand Canyon West, Arizona. This glass-floored architectural wonder sits 4,770 feet above the canyon floor and extends 65-feet out into thin air.
I would have loooved to sit-in on this visionary's conversations.
When a God-given dream is fulfilled, you might look back and say, "How in the world did I have the guts to pull THAT off!?" So you know it was God. And then the greatest thrill comes when the nay-sayers are standing on the skywalk trying their best not to look awe-struck... as if they believed it all along.
This is some totally awesome thinking. I am a church planter in the Nevada desert where people have seen little of God's vision actually become reality. Even the smallest visions can appear to be impossible to other people. Does this ever put things into perspective? Yes it does!
