for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever. – Genesis 13:15
If you can see it, you can have it.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it?
But the kind of seeing is the type that Jack Nicklaus describes about his golf shot where he said:
“I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.”
The real work then is to develop your internal picture of all that you want to achieve receive.
And once you’ve got the very sharp, in-focus picture that Jack Nicklaus described…and the kind that God developed in Abraham over time…then you can have all the land that you see.
