God isn't lacking in vision. But there does seem to be a shortage of people willing to dream as big as God. Faith isn't about convicing God to go big but posturing ourselves to join God in a life bigger than we are and bigger than our dreams. People walk with God, and they are brought into what God is doing and even what he is dreaming. They believe God and connect to his intention in human history.
Faith is about confidence in God's character, that he is good and true and beautiful. There are many things that are uncertain to us, but we know that God is good, that he can be trusted with our lives, and that we should live our lives in pursuit of the future he paints for us - a picture of a better world he promised would come to pass if we would live as if it were our destiny.
