Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Today I saw a clip of a blind man going into a motorcycle shop with his wife. As they entered a salesperson came up to them and the man said he wanted to “look” at motorcycles. the salesman looked at his wife and she shook her head yes. So they walked through the showroom, he would touch and feel the handlebars, seats and gas tanks, he even sat on a few. Then the shot goes dark.
The next scene you see is this blind man with a helmet on driving a motorcycle with the biggest smile on his face. Then the camera panned our and the motorcycle was strapped on to a trailer and his wife was pulling it with their car. The last scene was her looking in the side mirror with a big smile also. Now how awesome was that!
All I could think of was how different this world, and especially the church would be if all of us would encourage one another to help others achieve what is seen as impossible. That man might not have had eyes that could see, but he could see himself driving a motorcycle and I believe God gave him the vision as how to accomplish that. Now I know the world would say he just had a good idea, but it was God that gave us creative minds. And those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Savior and Lord now have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).
How often have we heard from fellow Believers, “that’s impossible”, “you can’t do that”, “that can never happen”, but God has put a desire, calling and hope in our hearts and we can see beyond what is in the natural into the supernatural. And how many times have we hindered someone else from achieving their God given vision and call with the same hindering words we have heard. Let’s stop seeing things with our natural eyes and begin to see them through the eyes of Holy Spirit. Let’s be just like that wife in the clip, who caught her husbands vision and helped him make his vision a become a reality. Let’s catch other’s visions, pray with them and dream with them and help the natural become the supernatural and give God all the glory!
