Psalm 30:5 NIV
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Looking at the history of life will reveal a host of amazing stories. We hear of Pastor Nick, a man born without arms, but who has impacted his generation much more than his contemporaries with complete limbs. We read about Helen Keller, who became blind and deaf at 19 months, but at her death, had an NGO sponsoring millions of projects to help the blind. What, then, will be your excuse?
We read of the boy in the Bible who gave his lunch of 5 loaves and 2 fishes to Jesus to help feed the hungry. He could have thought it small, but the touch of Jesus made it sufficient and enough, with plenty left over. That is how it starts- availability.
We all complain about what we don't have, we long for the better skills, better jobs, more money, bigger houses and cars, thinking that these are the things that will push you into your purpose. None of these things can aid a directionless life. None of these things can birth a breakthrough. What God needs to start is what is in your hands NOW.
What do you hold presently- a pencil, an idea, a seed, a book, anything. God starts from where you are now and moves you to where he wants you to be but when you do not know who you are, whose you are and what you have, then how does God take you anywhere?
Do I spend my time admiring the green grass of the field beside me, or do I cultivate mine, at my own pace and with God's help? Moses had only a rod, no good speech or accent and we know what impact he made with what he held. Abraham had just the promise and till now, we all claim the blessings of that promise.
Jesus had a purpose in mind when he came and he faced it squarely. Distractions abounded around him but he stuck to the purpose. Now, we all lay claim to the blessings, benefits and breakthroughs that his death and life have sealed for us.
Check your hands- that which you hold NOW is the seed for your miracle and breakthrough.
