Stop waiting!!!

Life has been crazy for me these past few months! But honestly I cant complain! I wake up in the morning and i am grateful for another day! Praise Jesus! Just realizing that things dont have to be perfect before i have to start something or do something!

A lot of times our God given vision is bigger than our current situations, circumstances, background or even education. This right here can cause us to delay in starting out until we have enough money, become more smart, or even getting a lucky break.  When in reality we have everything to get started to take that first step right in our hands! Your dream is right there to grasp if you are willing to reach out for it!

Jesus told the disciples to feed the crowd in Mark 6 but their focus was on what they did not have and how great of a task that would be. So Jesus, then asks "what do you have?" In reality the disciples only had 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish to feed the thousands! So i understand why they were looking bamboozled! But what happens next is the part we need to focus on : Jesus takes what they have to God in thanksgiving before asking the disciples to share it with the crowd. The result of that was a miraculous overflow of more than enough food for crowd!

The same thing that God did with Moses, is the same He wants with us and He is asking us today,"what is that in your hand?" So take a step back and evaluate yourself and ask the Lord to reveal to you the resources, connections, knowledge, talents, gifts and helpers that He has already placed in your life to help make that first step! It might not be enough to take you all the way through your journey in life but it is most definitely more than enough for the first step!

You need to start where you are and trust in God that He will take care of all your needs to successfully make it through this journey we call life!

Mark 6:35-42

  1. DP! I loved this! Soooo true! It's like in Peter's case: Why is it so hard just to step out of the boat? I love Peter's ambitious crazy faith...just stepping out afforded him such a powerful experience of God's power at hand. I definitely need to step out onto the water...

    Good stuff DP!!! :) Thanks!
