The Lord’s Eyes

“The Lord’s eyes range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9).
God is looking at your heart – are you fully committed to Him?
Do you want to be a revolutionary for Christ? Do you know how to be one? When people are talking about committed service for Christ they often use phrases like, “go for it” and “sold out.” These seem more acceptable than the words, “fanatical” or “driven.” Whatever terms we use, being a revolutionary requires commitment.
When you think about people who are revolutionaries for Christ, who comes to mind? Mother Theresa? Amy Carmichael? Dr. and Mrs. Bill Bright? They were revolutionaries! Do you think about great figures in history and wonder what you could do that could compare to the legacy they left behind? Do you wonder if you can still be a revolutionary? The answer is yes, you can!
God will take you right were you are. Married? Children? Career? How will these fit in with God’s plans for you? Yield everything to God: time, family, treasure and talent and He will show you. When there’s nothing between you and God, He can take hold of your life and use you to do things you’ve never dreamed of. Yielding your life, all of it, to God is the first step:
- Confess all known sins and receive His forgiveness. (John 1:10)
- By faith ask the Holy Spirit to fill (direct & empower) you. (Ephesians 5:18)
- Walk by faith - practice spiritual breathing (see the Related Article below to learn how to do this.)
A revolutionary for Christ is someone whose heart is totally His, who listens and obeys God implicitly. You can be a revolutionary. God can use your life in incredible ways. Are you ready to take that first step?
God is looking for people whose hearts are completely His so He can strengthen them.
Father, You are looking for hearts that are totally Yours so You can strengthen us. May the people who read this devotional yield their lives totally to You today and walk in Your ways. Amen.
