Humanity has struggled to see and engage in opportunities. We tend to get overly affected by the challenges that come along with every open door.
“We went to the land to which you sent us and oh, it does flow with milk and honey. Just look at this fruit. The only thing is that the people who live there are fierce, their cities are huge and well fortified. Worse yet, we saw descendants of the giant Anak." ~Numbers 13:28
The children of Israel had talked about their promised land for some time. But as they stood on the edge of it and looked at the challenges, their ‘promised land’ talk lost its luster. The land was indeed everything God had promised. It was fabulous. But it had greater challenges than they ever imagined. Here’s a principle of life that is true of God’s promises too; Every great God-opportunity is filled with challenges to be outlasted and opposition to be confronted! The amazing thing is, God must think we’re up to it. Of course He’s going to help us out…a lot…but He still thinks we’re up to the challenge. The question is, do we believe we can work with God good enough to obtain His greatest callings and best opportunities? Here’s a second principle about these moments; We can do far more than we think we can! Great God-opportunities await those who have faith in God and have some faith in themselves! ~Verlon

ReplyDeleteLook at us now..The Birds to insire us and to Dream of being like...Priceless...And His...All the help needed for the Vision of flight..
We must Belive we can..We must do the work..We with God Can Achieve that which is Greater than Ourselves..Even Jesus said: John 14:12 Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."..Faith truly sets us free from the limitations of can't be done..Giving us that Kingdom Come..
