The Wide Open Door: Enlarge Thy Tent II The greatest physical challenge in our history was acquiring, entering, renovating and opening up a building for ministry that was ten times the size of our former building. Although it seemed over our heads physically, financially and in every way, we moved forward under the Lords direction. About that time, I was reading about a man named William Carey, an ordinary layperson, a laborer with a burden for the world. People told him it was impossible, but he did not accept it and launched modern missions to India. William Careys favorite quote was Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God. Just when the prospect of this gigantic building was upon us, I received a letter with the same quote. Everyday people unknowingly worked on this with great diligence, great faith and great perseverance. By Gods power working through us and apart from us, months later, it was done. Great faith will produce great works, but it is Gods power. His power and His commission are great. Attempt great things for God, and expect great things from God. Mission: What has God called you to do today? Act on it in great faith and expect great things to happen, fulfill your calling. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, hell do it! Creative and resourceful Dont get mad; get creative. Dont get frustrated; get resourceful. There is a workable way past whatever is threatening to make you angry. There is opportunity in those situations that pull you toward frustration. Life is a creative experience, and the universe is an abundant place. Combine those realities together and what you get is value. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, feel the energy of your own capability. When the breaks dont go your way, remind yourself that there’s much you can do to set things straight. Whatever challenges you, can also motivate you. Whatever pushes against you, can make you stronger and more determined. Be the creative, resourceful, positive and effective person you know you can be. And know the confidence of seeing yourself move forward no matter what. 13 Nov, 2014 Appreciate the gift When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.
