What Are You Waiting For?


Sometimes, we just need to ask ourselves "what are you waiting for?"  God created us to be more than we could ask or imagine.  We think we can't, he says we can. We think we shouldn't, he may say we should. I wonder if small David was asking King Saul, "what are you waiting for?"
There is some kind of giant in all of our lives that seems to be bigger than we are, bigger than God; bigger than the Universe. However, God says you can do all things through his Son, Jesus Christ. It is a matter of getting out of the stinking thinking between our ears, stop listening to the world around us that says we can't or shouldn't and at least try. I am going to do just that. I am going to at least try and I know I will succeed because my God is a big God. I can do all things because he says so. What the Lord has given me to do is God size and in my own strength I will fail, but because I am not alone I will prevail. It may be for a moment, an hour, or even a day, but I will try and I will succeed.
These words I tell myself when I am on a mission.  When you read it, what did you think? What did you feel? Was your cream rising to the top? Maybe you and I both need to tell ourselves these words more often and stop thinking like broken pot holes.
Just for today, I will try to do better than yesterday for it is a mere memory. Just for today, I will think differently than I did yesterday and if tomorrow comes, I will think better than I did today.

~Be encouraged, what are you waiting for?
