But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.— Matthew 19:26 (AMPC)
Many people I meet want to start at point A in their Christian life, blink their eyes twice, and be at point Z. Many of them are frustrated about not knowing what their gifts are or what God has called them to do with their life. Some of them are so afraid of failing and making mistakes that it keeps them from stepping out.
We all have undeveloped potential, but we will never see it manifested until we believe that we can do whatever God says we can do in His Word. Unless we step out in faith, believing that with God nothing is impossible, He cannot do the work in us that He wants to do to develop our potential. It takes our cooperation and willingness through faith, determination, obedience, and hard work to develop what He has put in us.
Nobody can be determined for us, but we can be determined for ourselves. If we are not determined, the devil will steal from us everything we have. I encourage you to give your potential some form by doing something with it. You will never find out what you are capable of doing if you never try anything. Don’t be afraid to step out into what you believe God is leading you to do. When you step out, you will find you are capable of great things.
Be bold, be brave, and be all you can be!
Prayer Starter: Father, I lift up all of my concerns, all of my fears to You right now. I choose to believe Your Word—and know that through You, all things are possible. Help me to be bold and brave. In Jesus’ Name, amen
