POSSIBILITIES

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Embrace today.
Go ahead.
I know there are some uncertainties in it.  I also know you have got some of it mapped out, not all, but some.  

Don’t get hung up.
“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.” ― Thomas Merton

Can you do that today?  What does Merton say?
That is going to take some FAITH and HOPE.
That is going to REQUIRE some courage; some risk taking.

But GOD has equipped us with the COURAGE!
2 Timothy 1:7
...God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

We need to supply the FAITH and we can do that via our HOPE!

So what is on your radar today?
Big meeting?
Bigger challenges?
Conflict?  Need collaboration?
“The “possible's” slow fuse is lit by the imagination.” ― Emily Dickinson

Guess what... we SERVE a GOD who is “very imaginative”.
Ephesians 3:20 (NIRV)
God is able to do far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. He does everything by his power that is working in us.

So we need courage for today. GOD says…CHECK!
We need imagination for today. GOD says…CHECK!
I guess what is missing is that FAITH.  How much of that do we need?
Oh, that is right…
Matthew 17:20-21 (NIRV)
“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, it is ENOUGH. ...Nothing will be impossible for you.”

You CAN supply that right?

So…
Want to see the POSSIBILITIES for today come to pass?
Leverage the COURAGE GOD has granted you.
Tap into the IMAGINATION He has birthed in you.
Exercise the FAITH He has said you need.

“Greet this day the way it has greeted you; with open arms and endless possibility.” ― Steve Maraboli

All the "possibilities" are there for a GREAT day!

I love you all.
