God can only go where your feet take Him. He can only touch the people you touch. He sees through your eyes and speaks through your mouth. His words are all-powerful, but for that power to be released they must be spoken through lips of faith!
God gave each of you an important job regardless of your employment status. He gave the preacher AND the stay-at-home parent the same honor of using His name to go to the masses. He puts a value on life that no other religion or philosophy could have imagined. Are you seeing more than your own little world?
Jesus said “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). He is saying that following His success will make you someone that others want to follow. Men will be caught by your posture, words, peace, and authority in the midst of challenges. That is true leadership!
Jesus was God, but He put off His God rights and did nothing on earth that a human could not do. He clothed Himself in humanity to be our model. This limitless life is what He is encouraging you and me to experience now when He tells us, “All things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).
There is a place where sickness cannot stay, and you are equipped with more than enough to answer every need of every good work. There is a place where peace, dignity and love rule in your daily walk. When you call on Jesus He comes to live in you—and He makes YOU the place where all things are possible!
Jeremiah said to God, “I can’t because I’m too young.” Isaiah said, “I can’t because I am a man of unclean lips.” David said, “I can’t because what are humans before you?” Jesus was different. He said, I am and I can. “I am from my Father and as my Father works so I work” (John 5:17). He has given us a new way of thinking about ourselves!
God never changes but our perception of Him does. You can limit Him to the size of your religion, your problem, or your bank account—OR you can also allow Him to be Almighty God! He is the creator of the universe! Invite Him into your daily decisions. Proverbs 3:5 tells us that when we trust God and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will direct our paths!
There is a very real God whose presence you can know, whose hand you can hold, who will speak with you and His voice will not be somewhere in the distance, but rather IN you. He loves you and wants to live with you and through you!
The three wise men set their focus on following the star all the way to Bethlehem. Likewise, in the midst of the thousands of bits of information that come at us each day, we must keep our focus on Jesus, the only light that will truly transform us.
If we spend most of our time begging God to do what He’s already done, and the rest of the time asking Him to do what He’s told us to do, what have we just done? Nothing! Ask yourself today, are you a beggar or are you a believer?
