SOLUTION WITH DAILY INSPIRATION |
God can
do anything, you know—far more than you could
ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!
He does it not by pushing us around but by working
within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
(Ephesians 3:20 — The Message)
Very few of us ever live up to or perform
at our full potential. The reason is we don’t understand
what that potential is. Whatever occupation or human endeavor
you want to pick—athlete, singer, musician, and engineer—very
few of us, left alone, will ever come close to living and
performing at our full potential. Those that do reach their
potential have someone who encourages them, stretches them,
and gently pushes them to go beyond what they think they
can do.
Each of us was created for a reason, each of us has a purpose and for us to achieve
that purpose we must allow God to come in and encourage us, gently prod, push
and stretch us. We, through God and the Holy Spirit, can do more than you can
imagine right now. God can literally do anything through anybody if we will just
allow Him to do so. The only thing holding us back is us. God will never violate
our free will and so won’t act through us if we refuse Him.
As Paul says, God can do anything and far more that you could ever imagine or
guess in your wildest dreams. We must trust Him, believe Him and follow Him wherever
He leads. It will require effort from us, it will require strength from us and
it will require faith from us, but if we are surrendered and willing we will
be amazed at what God can do with and through us. Remember, He is not looking
for the ability but for the availability.
Live intentionally, purposely, free and with passion,
Pete Reinbold
