I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry. — Ps 40:1 BSB

Has God taught you a great truth or revealed some sweet thought of His love to you in a deep personal experience? What’s the next step? Isn’t it to whisper that blessed secret to another soul? After Peter had his strange vision, he sat pondering what it meant. While he was still thinking about it, the Spirit said, “Behold, three men seek you.” The picture is suggestive. Whenever we receive something from God, there is always someone waiting to receive from us what God has just given to us.

Heavenly visions are not shown to us merely for our own benefit. Like an artist who translates his visions into beautiful creations for others to see, we must transform what God gives us into something that will bless the world.
