So I just had an idea. What if we were to strive to do what
we love to do and it works. Like what I mean by “and it works” is, you know
when you have a super creative idea and you are so stoked about it and you’re
like this is amazing… then that second thought comes in or you tell someone
about it and you think, nah that’s not going to work because it’s what…
IMPOSSIBLE.
That dream is too hard for me to accomplish. I don’t have
enough resources to get this started. Who am I to do this? I ain’t nobody. I
don’t know the right people. Umm, you don’t know my track record. Yea, sounds
like a good idea, but I always have good ideas, I never follow through with
them… My oh my, the list goes on of the negative thoughts we think about
ourselves.
I heard not too long ago, that what if the thought to build
an airplane produce the light bulb or the World Wide Web was never tried, where
would we be? Like think about Moses. There wasn’t rain before the great flood,
so why in the world was he building an ark?? It started with a thought and look
where it got him and his family and the animals, two by two.
Every thought is not going to be practical, rational,
logical or even doable (if this is a word) when we first get the download. When
we take that thought back to God with a heart that says, Lord I know this is
not something I thought of on my own, and it’s too big for me, so I know that
you had to have something or everything to do with it… So how can I be of
service to you?
Then sometimes, and this is most times, that we have to just
walk out what He showed us. This is called operating by faith. When operating
by faith, yes you are waiting to get instruction, but then too you are also to
work at what you can do. At least until the next piece of instruction comes,
you’ll be ready and not lagging behind, saying “hold up real quick, let me
finish this piece”.
I’m really preaching to myself with these words I type
because this is me alllll day. I am such a big procrastinator it’s not funny. I
just wondered though, what if we were to actually act out on that CRAZY thought
we had. Then even more, what if that CRAZY thought turned out to be something
even greater than we ever imagined… you just made history!!!
One of my favorite scriptures I used to read often was Joshua
1:9… Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do
not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you
go." Although the journey will have bumps and bruises, long
waiting periods, and all that good stuff we usually don’t tend to like, I think
it’s worth giving it a try. You never know what great things are in store.
Then
he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are
few.
Matthew 9:37
