Develop Your Potential

Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], and by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

I hope you have a dream or a vision in your heart for something greater than what you have now. Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all that we can hope or ask or think. If we are not thinking, hoping, or asking for anything, we are cheating ourselves. We need to think big thoughts, hope for big things, and ask for big things.

I always say I would rather ask God for a lot and get half of it, than to ask Him for a little and get all of it. However, it is an unwise person who only thinks, dreams, and asks big but fails to realize that an enterprise is built by wise planning.

Dreams for the future are possibilities, but not what I call “positivelies.” In other words, they are possible, but they will not positively occur unless we do our part. All of us have potential, and many of us want a manifestation of it, but too often we are not willing to wait, be determined, and work hard at developing that potential.

Prayer of the Day: Lord, I need to think and hope and ask for bigger things from You. Help me to develop my potential to accomplish great things for Your glory, amen.
