Get outside


Genesis 15:4-5 (NLT) Then the Lord said to him, "No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own to inherit everything I am giving you." [5] Then the Lord brought Abram outside beneath the night sky and told him, "Look up into the heavens and count the stars if you can. Your descendants will be like that—too many to count!"

You got to get this! Then the Lord brought Abram "outside". When I read this my heart jumped. It wasn't until Abram got outside of his own world, his circumstances, his mindsets, his ceilings, his way of doing church, his assumptions about leadership, his assumptions about life that God could show him His vision for his life. Sometimes we need to stop working in it take a step back, go outside and then we can work on it. So what do you need to get outside of?

Hey, your right we do need to get outside, although sometimes you just want to look through the window.....I guess the problem with that is you only see a partial view.....sometimes it's just tough to walk through the door!!
