“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 God has an amazing dream for your life! If you really want to accomplish and achieve the great things that God created you for, then take some time to think about and look for His dream and plans!
Looking for God’s dreams and plans, may mean that you have to lay down your dreams and plans, but it is a trade worth making. Remember: You cannot head in two directions at once, so look for the direction that God has for you, knowing that He will prosper and not harm you, that He will give you a hope and a future! God Bless And Press On!
You are special, don’t allow anyone to tell you any different! God created you as you and that makes you very special. God not only created you, but He also gifted you! God has given each of His special creations – special gifts! You have a special gift from God!
The Scriptures teach us to “Kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you.” 2 Timothy 1:6 What does this tell me? It tells me that I have a gift in me that God has given to me and I need to “kindle afresh” (fan into flame, stir up, readjust the embers) that gift, so that I can do the thing that God has given me to do and be the special creation that God has created me to be!
You have a gift in you that God has given you! Adjust the embers, stir up, fan into flame and kindle afresh this amazing gift and do what God created you to do. As you do, you will accomplish great things and discover the joy of being one of God’s special creations!
Like A Ship! Someone said that being a real believer is like being a ship that God wants to send out to sea to sail wherever the wind might carry us! Often times when the strong winds of adversity blow into my life, I don’t like them and I begin to have a “woe is me” complex. The thing that I have to keep reminding myself of is that wind (adversity, hard times, frustrations) is not a bad thing, it is a good thing that is going to blow me into a new and better direction, if I will let it.
Learn This! The important principle to learn here is: Don’t fight against the wind, instead learn to harness the power of the wind and you will discover that it will take you to places that you could never get to on your own. I like to think of the wind as the Holy Spirit, when I pull up my anchor and adjust my sails – He takes me through the tough spots and into amazing places of blessing.
Ask God! Next time you find yourself going through a difficult time because the winds of adversity are blowing into and through your life, just take a moment to pray to God and ask Him to help you to pull up the anchor and set the sails and then get ready to enjoy the ride of a life time!
