Do Life Big!

I believe you can do anything and you will be the very best at it!

Your life is intended to be so much more than you could ever think or imagine! God is not limited by our personalities or our character.  He can take our simple ideas and our limited human lives and turn them into something bigger than we could have imagined.  We just have to be open to it and obey Him in every step. 

Yes, I truly believe that you can do anything and be the best at it, but it’s not just because of your gifts and talents!  It’s because we serve a God who is faithful, and I believe He is speaking this phrase over your life!

Attach your life to God’s.  Do what He says.  Go where He sends you.  Say what He wants you to say, and let Him do bigger and better things than you could ever imagine! Don’t limit yourself to your own dreams!

It doesn’t even matter what you are doing.  It doesn’t matter if you are in this job or that job, or this ministry or that ministry.  It’s not about the task, or job, or ministry, or season of life you are in.  If you stop looking at “the task at hand” and trust God to handle the details, then it really doesn’t matter what you do!  Refocus, get in line with God’s direction and let him clear the road!

Micah 6:8 says, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”  We need to humble ourselves, die to ourselves, live for Him, and let Him lead us where we are to go and what we are to do.

Does this mean that life is going be easy?  Oh my word, No! BUT, even when things seem so hopeless, and you feel like you are in the middle of a mess, God is not done with you! 

Even when it is so dark, you just don’t know what God can do!  Let Him to do the work.  Let Him fight your battles. Say it outloud to Him, “Lord, I can’t see your plan, but I know your working.  Please fight this battle for me and help me to trust Your direction.”

You have the potential to be GREAT!  Why let your simple dreams stop you!  We were created to give God glory and enjoy Him forever. 

You are in a time in your life where you may not know what path you are going to take, but the place you are in right now is not an accident.  You were called to this very task and very location for a purpose!  You have a direction, but let Him show you the actual path.  He is the only One who can get you there…

…I can’t wait to see it all happen.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”  Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV).
