BELIEVE GOD FOR GREAT THINGS

'[God]...will carry it on to completion.' Philippians 1:6 NIV

Many of us have a God-sized dream within us, but we're so afraid of failing we never pursue it. We can't imagine how it could possibly happen, so we don't act on it. Here's a challenge: don't worry about the outcome. That isn't your responsibility. 'Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus' (Philippians 1:6 NIV). 

You simply need to act on it. It doesn't have to be something big; in fact, it will probably be something small. Everything that's big starts small. But if you do little things like they are big things, God will bless them and use them.

A.W. Tozer said, 'A low view of God is the cause of a hundred lesser evils. A high view of God is the solution to ten thousand temporal problems.' Note how Paul prayed for the believers at Ephesus: 'I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can see something of the future he has called you to share. 

I want you to realise that God has been made rich because we who are Christ's have been given to him! I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him' (Ephesians 1:18-19 TLB).

We can't imagine what God is capable of. This means we can't imagine what we're capable of if we give God control of our lives. His power initiates a chain reaction. And with his energy working within us, we can accomplish all he has called us to do.
