Using Our Imagination to Build Faith

Oswald Chambers penned 'My Utmost for His Highest' which has become one of the most widely read devotional books of all time.

On February 11 he renders Isaiah 26:3 this way, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose imagination is stayed on Thee". I'm not sure what version he's using here but I resonate with using 'imagination' to focus on God.

What are you using your imagination for.

Powering up your imagination to focus on God is most likely pretty close to the Maker's intent. Because we're 'wired' to imagine we can pick up this tool and use it to FOCUS on God -- what He's done in the past and what He's doing now and imagining what He may be about to do next.


Isaiah 26:3 (New Living Translation)

3 You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

Let's Imagine more deeply and 'fix' our thoughts on God.

As a leader we must be able to 'project' a God-Centered future filled with Hope and wonder for our people. Doing 'imagination workouts' builds our ability to project into the hearts and minds of others so that we can travel together.

Imagine what God could do with YOU if you trusted Him completely.
