December: Trusting God

I’ve often heard people say, “If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough.” My dreams scare me. Truth be told, I’m overwhelmed with questions. Can I do this? Am I crazy? Is this even possible? What about the costs? How will I support myself? Then, doubts start to set in. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be a doubting Thomas anymore. I’m limited in my own capacity, but with God’s capacity, I’m limitless. Yes, this is easier said than done.

It’s hard to feel limitless when my bank account says otherwise. Feelings are fleeting and fickle. That’s why I should never trust my feelings but be led by the Holy Spirit. Every day, I must renew my mind and remember to put the “super” on the natural. Dr. Melvin Silas said, “God has given us faith to tap into.” I must stretch my faith and trust that God didn’t place this big dream for it not to be realized. He’s already realized one of my dreams. I’m in Taiwan.

Before leaving for Taiwan, I had so many concerns. My head was spinning with the what if scenarios. Let me tell you, my concerns were a waste of time because everything worked out. Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NIV) 

Instead of looking at the challenges and concerns, I should be excited for another great adventure with God. I need to change my lens and see the landscape in the supernatural versus the natural eyes. Psalm 23:1 reads, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” Do I believe Him? If I believe Him, then I need to stop worrying about what and hows. Instead, I just need to prepare myself for this big dream and be ready when He calls.

God is trustworthy and dependable. He’s already shown me. There’s no reason why He won’t see this big dream of mine through. He’s not a Father who withholds from His child. If you have dreams you’ve shelved, it’s time to reopen them. If you’re in a season where your circumstances are overwhelming and you can’t see your way out, remember we serve the Most High. He is more than able. Believe Him. Trust Him. Stay faithful, be thankful, and stay in expectation for the manifestation.  He’s limitless!
