I don’t always have a big vision or
strive for my goals wholeheartedly. I am not proud to say I let defeat catch me
all too often when I fail from time to time. I may frequently rest in the defeated,
mundane, or uninteresting patterns of life…even though, of course, God can do
phenomenal things in the every day simple moments! So I have to remind myself…often, of the
words that He has promised me.
For
I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
If I doubt…it is because my faith is weak and
I must cling to the one who knows me best and knows what is best for me. His words are true and sometimes my heart and
head take some time getting the message to harmonize. We have to stop saying “I
can’t.”
Oh, how we get in our own way and
become our greatest obstacle!
He wants us to be challenged, to be
prosperous, and to make a difference. He doesn’t want us to sit around and let
life pass us by. Open your eyes wide to see all the possibilities! We have a big job ahead!
He's Got Plans for me

Lord,
I pray to move mountains, do I believe You truly will
When
my words are courageous, but my heart feels so frail
I sense You've placed within me, more power than I know
Yet
my biggest threat against me is my own doubtful soul
I want big eyes to dream
great things
A big faith to believe what
You’ve given me
Open my big mouth and speak
Your Holy Word
For I serve a big God, and
He’s got plans for me.
When
defeat holds me captive and I wallow in myself
When
I fail to see my purpose, and I’m twisted inside out
I
will not stand here idle; You’ve called me to move on
To
be free of my stronghold, and hold tight to Your arm
For I know the plans you
have for me are to prosper and prepare
For blessing beyond measure
and a hope beyond compare
My future will blow away any
vision I have held as I follow in the
footsteps my Savior has laid
out
