Believe God for great things

Many of us have a God-sized dream, but we're so afraid of failing at it that we may never try reaching for it. We can't imagine how it could possibly happen, so we don't act on it. Here's a challenge: don't worry about the outcome. The outcome is not our responsibility; it's God's: 'Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus' (Philippians 1:6 NIV).

We need to act on our God-given desires and dreams. And it's good to start off small. In fact, everything that's big started small. If we do little things with the enthusiasm we'd normally reserve for big things, God will bless them and use them. A.W. Tozer said, 'A low view of God is the cause of a hundred lesser evils. A high view of God is the solution to ten thousand temporal problems.'

This is how Paul prayed for the believers at Ephesus: '...that light will flood your hearts and you will understand the hope given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all God's people...the great and mighty power that God has for us followers' (Ephesians 1:18-19 CEV).



So what now? You can't imagine what God's capable of. This means you can't imagine what you're capable of if you give God control of your life. His power sparks off a chain reaction. And with his energy working within you, you can accomplish all he's called you to do.
