Great Things
God is preparing you for great things
Susie Larson
God puts dreams in our hearts and writes a
destiny over our lives.
And if we trust Him enough to take Him at His
word, we will find ourselves on a journey toward the fulfillment of that dream.
Unfortunately, the path that takes us to the
promise is always wrought with thickets and thorns. Nothing worth having ever
comes easy or without opposition.
Storms will come, lions will roar, and our fears
will be confronted.
God allows the path to be difficult because He
intends on refining us and preparing us for our place of promise.
He is intent on extracting from us, that which
our enemy would love to leverage against us.
God loves us too much to promote us before we are
ready.
And so, as we follow His lead, we will at
different times, find ourselves in a valley – a valley of decision.
Marriages die there.
Dreams die there too.
The flesh dies hard and unfortunately for many,
they have opted to let their dream die before they had ever allowed their flesh
to be confronted.
We all have weak spots and areas of
inconsistency in our character.
Until we see Jesus face to face, we will need His guidance and
correction. He wants to take us from strength to strength; from glory to glory.
Ephesians 3:20 tells us that He
wants to do abundantly above and beyond ALL that we could ever ask or think,
but there’s a clincher in this verse … it’s according to
His work within us.
To the extent that He is allowed to work in
us, will be the extent that He does great things through us.
After pondering this idea a little more, I
envisioned a valley of dry bones.
Bones from marriages, relationships, and dreams
abandoned because many people refused to die to themselves, to humble
themselves, and to let God have His way in their lives.
Don’t let your dream die in the valley!
If you are in a season of refining, lean in.
Trust the loving hand of your precious Savior and
know that He will lead you to the other side. Refuse a sense of entitlement and
do not demand to be understood.
Instead, humble yourself and seek to
understand what the Lord is doing around you.
He will faithfully lead you and you will be
strengthened as you go.
On the other side of this refining time is a
fresh perspective and new mercies.
Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God; in
due time you will be lifted up and honored before a watching world.
Here is my question for you: Do you have a sense
of how God is using your current circumstances to prepare you for a great
calling?
God never calls us to do something for Him that
He does not empower us to do if we are willing to do the work and time. Please,
take the time to get to know God in an intimate way.
As your relationship with Him grows, you move up
in rank and are assigned harder missions. Your purpose on earth is to shine
God’s love to a lost, dying world.
Your mission, if you should choose to accept it,
is waiting for you!
Open your ears and your heart to the Lord and be
excited about your new future serving Him in truth and spirit.
God has made it possible for you to know Him and
experience an amazing change in your own life.
Serve Him.
Wait on Him.
And expect … for He is able to do much much more
than you can ask or imagine.
Settle that sin issue ...
“Father God, I
confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past
sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and
help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that Your
Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive,
and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to
become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day
forward. Thank You that according to Your Word, I am now born again.
Please send Your Holy
Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I
promise to study Your Word – the Bible.
Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray.
Amen.”
