Matt 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
I am a strong realist with the heart of an idealist. I see the possibilities, but I am constrained by the limitations of what I can conceive as doable. This morning has me wondering if I am inadvertently limiting how God is able to use me to further His Kingdom. Does my inability to fathom how He might use me keep me from acting on ways that He might be calling me? Jesus, Help me!
Gen 18:14 “Is anything too hard for the LORD?….”
I am the first to admit that I love the comfort of routine. It is difficult for me to be excited about starting something if I can’t conceive of how it might end, how it should end. But this morning, I feel God calling me to examine these tendencies to see if they are in line with His calling for my life.
Jer 32:17 “Ah, Sovereign LORD, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for You.”
Lord, Thank You for this day and for calling me to examine myself and my actions in light of Your callings. I don’t want my short-sightedness to limit Your ability to work in my life. If You are calling me outside of my comfort zone, help me to see it, understand it, and answer wholeheartedly, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.” I know that nothing is too difficult for You, not even my own perceived limitations. Give me strength and courage to understand and trust Your call, even when I can’t perceive the way, and draw me closer to You. Amen.
Isaiah 43:19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness….
Have a blessed day.
