Do You Really Believe?

It seems to have changed in the blink of an eye. Or the beat of a heart.

Or maybe the whisper of God in my ear.

More likely the clear spoken words of The Mr.

He's known to be like that.

Lately, it's been brought forward, that perhaps I'm not fully trusting God.

With Everything.

The study last night said, if you really believe, and I believe I do, than the words are true. The verse was Ph 4:13, I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. I always seem to pair it in my head with Luke 1:37, For nothing is impossible with God.

But, I think I was reading it wrong. Or maybe just limited in my thinking. See, I always thought of those verses as encouragement that we'd have the strength, physical or mental to do the things we were needing to do.

Sometime between then and now, it has occurred to me, that perhaps it is also the things we dream of doing.

The question last night was this: if you really belive those words, what will you try to do this week? We talked a little about another question: What are you actively not pursuing even though it's a dream of yours simply because you "know" it won't happen. Why do you think God isn't big enough for your dream? Why are you stopping God, by not even trying to see if that's the plan God has for you?

All said, it left me with a lighter heart. A new sense of amusement at myself. I really don't know if I've been busy thwarting God's plans for me for years on end, but it's worth finding out.
