Allow the depth and movement of the music to remind you of the vastness of God's possibilities and His call to deeper faith.
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.
— Jeremiah 33:3
am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for Me?” and we answer, “No, Lord.” Yet when we face difficult situations we begin to qualify our belief in God and lower our expectations of what God will do. It is one thing to believe God could perform a miracle in the Bible, or a thousand years ago, or even in the life of a friend; it is quite another matter to wholeheartedly believe God can do anything He chooses to do in our lives!
When Almighty God speaks to us, what we do next proves what we believe about Him, regardless of what we say. God revealed to Moses His plan to orchestrate the greatest exodus in human history, and He wanted to use Moses to accomplish it. Moses responded by arguing with God! Moses was overwhelmed by what he heard and began to make excuses for why he could not participate in God's activity. Moses would have readily acknowledged his belief in God's power; he simply did not believe God could do His miraculous work through his life. Moses' argument with God limited his ministry for the rest of his life (Exod. 4:13-16).
Do you sense there may be far more that God wants to do through your life than what you have been experiencing? Ask God to show you what it is. Then be prepared to respond in faith and obedience to what He tells you.
From Experiencing God Daily Devotionals (c) 1998 by Henry Blackaby and Richard Blackaby
Meditate the Word.
🌱 Reflect on a time when you felt God was calling you to something greater, but fear or doubt held you back. What was the outcome?
🌱 How do your current expectations of God’s activity in your life compare with the boundless nature of His power and promises?
🌱 In what areas of your life do you need to raise your expectations and trust in God’s ability to work through you, despite any limitations you might perceive?
Let us move forward with a heart that expects great things from God, remembering that our belief in His power is most authentically expressed in our willingness to step out in faith. May we be vessels of His mighty work, open to the unimaginable ways He wants to use us for His glory.
“Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.” - William Carey
Lord, we come before You with open hearts, ready to elevate our expectations of what You can accomplish through us. Forgive us for the times we've limited Your work with our doubts and fears. Help us to see the opportunities You place before us, to respond with faith, and to act in obedience. May our lives reflect a deep trust in Your limitless power and a readiness to be part of Your extraordinary plans. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
