You Were Made for So Much More

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. ~ Ephesians 2:10

Many of us had big dreams as children. Or maybe as we became adults and started walking with the Lord we had visions of doing great things for the Him. Deep inside each of us there's something that we are passionate about, something that we know we're supposed to be doing.

As time goes by, we may start walking in an area where we are gifted. We work hard on that area and we get really good at it. We enjoy it. It is comfortable to us. But God has more! He is always working to develop us. He always wants to push us past our level of comfort.

Look back to the vision God has given you. Are you only fulfilling a part of it? What else do you know in your heart that you are supposed to do?

When we start trying to tackle new territory, the enemy will try to bring fear. He doesn't mind you staying in your comfort zone because he knows you were made for more. He knows the greatness God has placed inside of you and he will do whatever he can to get you to settle.

We will never feel fully prepared. But we will not see the provision until we step out in faith and God will meet us there! Also, we may have been praying for a long time for certain things to take place in our own lives. What if we are blocking the flow of our blessings and the manifestation of our promises because we are not allowing the Spirit to flow through us in the way we know He should be? Our answers may be right there but until we choose to get out of our comfort zone and fully pursue our purpose, we will remain stuck in the same place and never see all of the promises come to pass in our lives. When we allow the Lord to have full access to our lives and we become a vessel that He can flow through to accomplish His will for this earth, then we open the floodgates for His blessings to flow into our own lives!

Say YES to the Lord today and refuse to allow fear to cause you to settle where you are! You were made for so much more and now is the time that you step out in faith and do what you were created to do!
