Good afternoon and Happy Saturday all. Today is February 1st 2014 and by this being the second month of the year we know of three things that are going to happen this month. One of them happens next weekend as the NBA Allstar weekend will occur. Then on tomorrow there will be a game played between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks called the Super Bowl to determine the World Champion. But tomorrow there is one more thing that also happens every year. Punxsutawney Phil will come out of a hole in the morning and according to the forecasters and all the media attention that this will receive will tell us all if there is to be a early spring or a severe winter on a day most observers call Groundhogs Day. As a person of faith, a Christian I do not hold any beliefs in the vision sights and forecasting of the groundhog. But I want to ask you all this day as Christians, What Do You See.
In the world today there are many visions, sights and forecast that one can get confused. You had someone who had the vision to create robotic dog called Zoomer that was one of the hottest toys of the holiday season and you still would have to overpay today to get one. You have the sights of snow and ice hitting normal areas and not so normal area such as Atlanta. And you have people forecasting who will win the Super Bowl, by how many points, who will score first etc. As Christians we have to be able to have visions that line up with God. We must have the sight to know what to do in a particular situation. And we must be able to know the forecast that is provided by us daily by the Holy Spirit. In the following paragraphs I will give 3 example of Groudhog Day ( What Do You See ).
In looking at the Word of God first go 2nd Kings 7:1-2. In this passage Elisha has been sent a vision by God to tell the people that God will feed them no matter how dark it looks. There is a naysayer in the kingdom and he is high ranking so he attempts to discourage as many do now. But just because he will not eat does not mean you will not either. Trust in God not a groundhog. ( What Do You See ).
In looking at the second example from the Word of God I go to Ezekiel 47:1-11 and see where God has given Ezekiel , the watchman a sight that shows how God can create healing waters before it has even happened. Ezekiel was not one of the prophets to have returned back to the land so the sights he saw were to be passed on to others who love God and not some groundhog. ( What Do You See ).
In the last example from the Word of God I go to Luke 12:54-56. We as Christians know that Christ does exist and he is coming again some day. As there is also heaven here on earth there are those who seek to dispel that notion and forecast that Jesus is a myth. These are those hypocrites Jesus forecast of back then and they still are around today posing as groundhogs. ( What Do You See).
In closing God can make your visions social media, business, and education come to pass and he even said so in his Word ( Habakkuk 2:2-3 ). God can make your sights of doing something in religion and government be fulfilled even if you may not believe ( Habakkuk 1:5 ). The forecast for those doing things in the area of family and arts and entertainment looks to be ripe for you as well ( Habakkuk 3: 17-19 ). I ask you again, There are those who see you as a groundhog and attempt to place you in hole and ask your opinion for one day a year or continue your walk with God and then tell me, What Do You See. I give God all the glory for this teaching and providing with the vision to see the title, the sight to find the scriptures and the forecast to provide me some quiet time. I thank the whole VKMI family and all those in the teaching ministry. Happy birthday Minister Baker. Get Your Worship on Tomorrow All.
