“Then He took Abram outside and said to him, ‘Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them’” (Genesis 15:5).
Like Abraham, we are often closed inside our “tents”—our mental limits, our fears, and anxieties. But the Lord calls us out, to lift our eyes to the heavens and see further. He invites us to exchange narrow spaces for a broad vision, to live with our feet firmly planted in His will and our hearts open to what He has planned. When we look up, we realize that God’s thoughts are much higher than ours, and His ways are always greater than we can imagine.
To experience this broader life, it is necessary to walk according to the majestic Law of the Most High. It sets us free from internal prisons, breaks the limits we have imposed on ourselves, and teaches us to trust in the Father’s guidance. Each step of obedience is an invitation to see the world and life from God’s perspective, exchanging man’s short-sightedness for the Creator’s eternal vision.
So, come out of the “tent” of limitation and enter the “sky” of God’s promises. He wants you to live with open horizons, guided by His magnificent commandments, being prepared to inherit eternal life in Jesus. Adapted from John Jowett. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, I place myself before You asking that You take me out of narrow spaces and lead me to see the sky of Your promises. Open my eyes to see Your greater plans.
Lord, guide me so that I may walk in obedience to Your majestic Law, exchanging small thoughts for a broad vision of Your purpose. May I live each day trusting in Your care.
Oh, dear God, I thank You because You call me out of my limitations. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is an endless horizon for my soul. Your commandments are stars that guide me on the way. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
