The Price of the Vision By Oswald Chambers In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord… -Isaiah 6:1 Our soul’s personal history with God is often an account of the death of our heroes. Over and over again God has to remove our friends to put Himself in their place, and that is when we falter, fail, and become discouraged. Let me think about this personally— when the person died who represented for me all that God was, did I give up on everything in life? Did I become ill or disheartened? Or did I do as Isaiah did and see the Lord?

We have a little less than a month to finish filling up the change cans for the Mountain States Children’s home. The goal is to have about $45 in each can. They are using this to offset costs for clothing and perishable food items. They will need to be brought back to Lakeview by the 12th of August. Are you a carry no cash, do everything on-line / electronic bill-pay kind of person? Whether you want to set up a recurring donation or make one-time donations as you choose, online giving is available through the Lakeview website. www.lakeviewchurchofchrist.church, under the Connect tab. Good Neighbor Challenge… Over the next few weeks, the Office is going to have a few challenges for you, to do some good deeds and get to know each better. One great way to do this is to join a small group, if you have not already. This week’s challenge is Elder Appreciation. You can send one of them a card, strike up a conversation, give them a hug, or something as simple as letting them know you’re praying for them. Let’s build our leaders up!

My vision of God is dependent upon the condition of my character. My character determines whether or not truth can even be revealed to me. Before I can say, “I saw the Lord,” there must be something in my character that conforms to the likeness of God. Until I am born again and really begin to see the kingdom of God, I only see from the perspective of my own biases. What I need is God’s surgical procedure— His use of external circumstances to bring about internal purification. Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God and no one else is taken into account whatsoever. Your prayer will then be, “In all the world there is no one but You, dear God; there is no one but You.” Keep paying the price. Let God see that you are willing to live up to the vision.
