I shared with the participants at my
First Friday Fellowship meeting on January 1st the importance of our
thoughts and how they govern our actions and outcomes. For the remainder of the week I will share
the highlights of that discussion taken from Exodus 4:1-5.
Exodus
4:1 – “Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or
listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to
you.’”
Now
is the time to stop listening to naysayers, critics, negative people and
sourpusses. No one will ever totally buy
into your dream because it is not for them - it is for YOU. God has placed a special project, direction,
dream or plan in your life and while some will support and encourage you, no
one will fully understand what you must do.
Most of the time you may not know 100% what you must do because God
might not reveal it to you but a piece or step at a time. Your first mind set change must be to stop the
negative ‘talk’ that filters into your life.
This might be from people but it can also be self-generated. Now is the time to squelch self-doubt and
believe that those urging to get up and get moving are from God.
Many
of us feel the urge to go after wonderful plans but because they are grand or
glorious we believe they are too far-fetched to be pursued. Stop the hindering and know that God has
placed that in your heart. He is a BIG
God and does not dwell in the miniscule.
Why would a God who created the universe give you a ‘Dollar Tree’ plan?
Yes it is big…go for it. Start now thinking – “YES, I can!
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to a
make it a GREAT day! Enjoy this first week of 2016. A great start gives hope and promise for a
great finish. Be blessed! Dr.
