Only God can Fulfill His Vision

Has God given you a vision that is yet unfulfilled? If that vision is born of God, He will raise it up in His own way. Do not try to raise the vision in your own strength. Like Moses, who tried to fulfill the vision of freeing the Hebrews by killing the Egyptian, it will only fail. But wait on your heavenly Father to fulfill the vision. Then you will know that it was His vision when He fulfills it in the way only He can do.
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. - John 12:24

Trust God and His Commandments 2 Samuel 24 - if not you or your people will suffer

In 2 Samuel 24, David counts his troops to see how strong they are which God forbids him to do.God wants him to rely on God and not the numbers of troops. After David does this, he realized he sinned greatly and repented but the repercussions  were already in place - God allowed him to choose from three options to punish him and the people. Even though David realized and repented, the earthly consequences still had to be served.
