Filling in the Blank

The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
Romans 8:19
 
 
How do you think God might fill in the blank below concerning your life?
I want to do ________________________________ with your life!
What are your expectations of God’s will for your life?
Is it that you might move mountains by your faith in Him
Or
Is it enough to only believe that God wants you at church next Sunday?
Not that I have anything against church attendance but I suspect God just might have bigger plans for you and I than that.
We settle well short of what He wants to do.
We began the week with the same challenge – don’t put limits on God.
I want to end it by asking you to allow that blank line above to provoke you to prayer.
Seek God’s maximum and not your minimum.
Don’t be a “settler” when it comes to fulfilling your destiny.
Consider this – maybe – just maybe your life purposes being fulfilled are part of the “greater works” that Jesus spoke of.
One way that we honor Him is through obediently completing the works He gives us to do.
But if we can only believe God for the simplest of things then we miss His best for us.
And creation misses out on one of the sons of God it is waiting to be revealed.
We have been buffeted by strong winds the last 24 hours.
They have left an impact in our area of western New York state.
Should Jesus tarry and you are called home to be with Him;
what impact will the life you lived for Him leave on others?
How will you fill in that blank?
