For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.

—2 Chronicles 16:9a

God is not looking for people with small dreams.

Are our dreams such that we could achieve them on our own with just a little help? Are we 98% capable of fulfilling our vision with our natural abilities, and are relying on God for that extra 2% to get us over the top? If so, we are not the sort of people God is searching the earth to strongly support.

God is looking for Kingdom Builders. He is seeking people to build his Kingdom here on earth. And the people his eyes range to and fro throughout the earth searching for are those whose dreams require a miracle—people with visions they cannot possibly accomplish on their own.

Why is this so? He wants people whose lives and accomplishments will glorify Him. God wants to act in their lives in order to reveal himself to others. God is not interested in blessing people for themselves alone. He wants to bless people so that through them many others will be blessed.

Martha was upset that Jesus did not immediately rush to heal her brother Lazarus. But Jesus had greater plans than Martha could imagine. As he told her in John 11:40, “If you believe, you will see the glory of God.” He then demonstrated his power in front of the crowds of people who had gathered from Jerusalem so that all could witness the miracle. Because of this, many came to believe in him and they spread the news wherever they went.

Today, he is still looking for people he can resurrect, whose lives he can transform, who need supernatural power to fulfill their destinies. Only then will all those who see the miracle give glory to God. He wants the worldly to say, “I knew you before. Surely you couldn’t have done this on your own. It had to be the work of God!”

These are the people he is searching the earth for—people who need a miracle, and whose hearts are fully devoted to him. These are the people he will strongly support. These are the lives he wants to bless, and to bless so extravagantly that “all who see will believe and praise God.” (1 Peter 2:12)
