645 Today Be Faithful

Are you hoping for BIG things in your future? Have you been praying for big breakthroughs and big changes? Well sister, you have a great BIG God capable of mind-blowing things and as his prized and precious child, you can boldly approach the throne of grace with your dreams and desires. After all remember, the desires of your heart are given to you by your creator in the first place. The seed was planted within you by Him. God doesn’t give you a dream without a path to get there. It IS possible, but likely not in the way you imagined. Here’s where we mess up … we believe if God gave us a desire within our heart for something in our future, one day we’ll just wake up and it will be there. Oh, you believe in magic. That’s magic. Believing in God looks a little different. Here’s how God works: He gives you the seeds and says plant it, water it, care for it, then you reap the harvest. The path to your dreams is a whole lot more about sowing and reaping than wishing and waiting. Boldly approach the throne of grace with your request and you will receive seeds. A little start. A beginning. A hand full of possibility, and what you do with it is completely up to you. Could you already have the answer to your prayers today? Could the seeds all be right here, right now? Look at the humble beginnings of these 5 powerhouse companies. Amazon, Apple, Disney, Google and Harley Davidson all began in garages. Not big grand buildings with thousands of employees. Not even a home office. We’re talking about homes so small they didn’t have room for an office in the house, they were in the garage. There’s likely something big you’ve been dreaming about for your life. Something currently out of your reach. You imagine that once you arrive to this destination you will be successful, disciplined, focused. When you’re the perfect size 6 you will of course eat salad for lunch. When your marriage is once again happy of course you will start going on dates again. When you have a big fat healthy bank account you’ll gladly give. And I’m here to tell you, if you won’t do it now where you are today, you won’t do it then either. And it’s not even me saying it, Jesus said it. Luke 16:10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.” Here’s what God knows about you: If you aren’t faithful in little things you simply won’t be faithful with more. You must first be faithful with the little you have before you can ever expect to be trusted with more. What are you needing more of today? Your answer is always found in being faithful with what little you have right now. Do you need more energy? Imagine all you could accomplish if you just had the energy, the pep, the zest, the get up and go to do more. Well I know the secret of getting more energy. The secret is to use every ounce of energy you have today, then tomorrow you will have more. Yes, this is being faithful with little, then more will be given. Energy grows and builds, but only when used. Use it or lose it. Get up and do something today or tomorrow you’ll feel even LESS like doing anything. Do you need more money? Be faithful with what you have today. I recently read that millionaires like Lady Gaga, Kourtney Kardashian and Carrie Underwood use coupons. Do they have more than enough money to buy whatever they want? Of course they do. But they’re choosing not to waste it. You may not have much money today, but are you wasting what little you do have by not being smart with your money? Can you be TRUSTED with money? Will you do what’s right with your money? Remember Jesus’ teaching on the talents? Perhaps you know the story. A boss gives his 3 employees each a measure of money to c...
