TEXT: DANIEL 8:27
Daniel 8:26-27 (AMP)
26 The vision of the evenings and
the mornings which has been told you is true. But seal up the vision, for it
has to do with and belongs to the [now] distant future.
27 And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick [for several] days. Afterward I rose up and did the king's business; and I wondered at the vision, but there was no one who understood it or could make it understood.

Life is full of a lot of riddles.
Not many things are really as they appear to be. Almost everybody is born with
sight but only a few have vision. With the eyes even a baby can see but it
takes a discerning heart to see vision. If you have problem with your eyes your
speed in life will be reduced or completely grounded due to the obstruction of
your sight. Just as the clarity of your sight can determine your direction,
speed and progress in life, the purity of your heart will determine the degree
of your access to spiritual vision and the degree of your fulfillment of
destiny. The word of God in Matthew 5:8
(KJV) says “8 Blessed are
the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” reading this from the amplified
version is really an eye opener. It reveals that the state of your heart can
determine the degree of favour you attract from God and your progress in life.
There are issues of life that can never be unravelled by our intellectual
capability. It is one thing to see or receive a vision but it is another thing
to understand the vision. When we speak of understanding of vision we need a
divine light to see beyond our finite wisdom and experience. This was the
prayer of Paul for the Christians at Ephesus as found in Ephesians 1:16-19.
From our text of today it is obvious that there are some things that are kept
for a certain time. Therefore when certain individuals are able to receive
certain understanding at a particular time, it is not because they are smarter
than those of previous generation, they are just fortunate to walk in a time of
divine appointment and fulfillment. If any man will make a difference in his generation then he must seek God with all his heart. I pray God to grant you a
discerning heart to guide you into the fulfillment of destiny in Jesus name.
Amen. The Glory Realm Devotional by Rev. Igho Y; the Glorious Fountain Ministries.
