THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

HOLD TIGHTLY TO WHAT GOD PUTS IN YOUR HEART, BUT HOLD LOOSLEY TO HOW IT’S GOIING TO HAPPEN

I heard a story once about a couple that was CERTAIN they’d found their DREAM house. They said they PRAYED over it, THANKING God that it was THEIRS, and THEN made an offer. But the seller rejected their OFFER. They were DEEPLY disappointed, but if you’re only going to be happy if God does it YOUR way, that’s not TRUSTING Him; that’s giving God ORDERS. A few months later, they purchased ANOTHER house. A few years after that, they sold HALF of that property for MORE than they paid for the WHOLE property and built a NEW house there. God BLESSED them in ways greater than they’d ever IMAGINED.

I believe in praying BOLD prayers for your DREAMS, believing for big THINGS. But I’ve LEARNED to let God do it HIS way. Hold TIGHTLY to what God puts in your HEART, but hold LOOSELY to how it’s going to HAPPEN. Don’t get set in your WAYS. Don’t be DISCOURAGED because it hasn’t happened the way YOU thought. God is working out HIS plan for your life.

Today’s Scripture:

Isaiah 45:9, NIV

“Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?'”
