Acts Chapter 10 describes two visions by 2 different people. Cornelius had a vision to send servants to a certain town and ask for Simon Peter to visit him. While these servants were approaching the house that Peter was staying in, Peter had a vision that later he correctly interprets to mean that he is to no longer think of anyone as unclean. These visions were timed so perfectly to intersect at just the right moment – a God moment. What salvation it brought to Cornelius, his family and entire household. And new thinking was brought to Simon Peter and the brothers he had brought with him as they watched the Holy Spirit fill these Romans!
Had one of these visions happen at a different time, we would not have this wonderful outcome. Today, we pray for vision for Dr. Martin and Wendy, as well as their entire board of directors for Healing Hands International Ministry (HHIM). So many opportunities are opening to HHIM. We had the opportunity to hear just a few of the amazing possibilities to expand their ministry last week. Can you imagine: a Honduras-trained physician with the heart to serve the poor! And this country, as most, have so many incredible needs.
Dr. Martin and Wendy were given an incredible vision by God many years ago, and it has been a long painful road that has brought them to where they are. Let us pray that every opportunity that they are given is “held up” to the vision that God has given them. An opportunity may be great, and really serves a need. But if it is not a God-ordained opportunity, we need to pray that the Holy Spirit gives them the clarity and wisdom to discern the difference.
Lord, we pray that You continue to sharpen the vision of the work that You have given HHIM to do. All for Your honor and glory. Amen
