(2) Eagle-Like Vision and Ant-Like Calling.
We will later look more closely at vision and calling being seeing and hearing Jesus. Now let us look at EAGLE-LIKE VISION and ANT-LIKE CALLING separately. Click on the one you want to view....
·God's General Will : EAGLE-LIKE VISION.
·God's Specific Will : ANT-LIKE CALLING.
(3) Conclusion -
We must not only work hard and plan as he ant does but we must ake sure all e do is within the vision as seen from the heavenlies for our life (as an eagle's vision). Vice verca, we must no be so heavenly minded so as to be of no earthly use - there must be a balance in our lives of both the qualities of an ant and of an eagle.
