Meet God Every Day

God promises to bless your life if you meet with him every day. We like to call this a "quiet time." I don't care if it's five minutes, ten minutes, thirty minutes, whatever. And it doesn't matter what time of day you do it, just as long as it's a time when you are at your best.

You need to set a date with God every day where you say, "God, I'm checking in with you. Anything you want to do in my life today, anything you want to tell me." Just sit there and be quiet. Read the Bible a little bit, talk about whatever is worrying you, unload your burdens, and listen for God's direction.

The Bible says, "The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does." (James 1:25 NIV)

God says if you will do this, he will bless the things in your life. "You have stored up great blessings for those who honor you. You do so much for those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world" (Psalm 31:19 NLT).

You don't need to focus on the HOW for now because, once you figure out the WHY, God will show you HOW.  He will help you solve the problems that stand in the way of your goal.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:  If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
--Ecclesiasters 4:9-10

God Specializes in Impossible Dreams

God Specializes in Impossible Dreams -- Rick Warren

When the pursuit of your dream deteriorates from difficult to impossible, congratulations! You're in good company.

Even Paul went through dead ends: "At that time we were completely overwhelmed, the burden was more than we could bear, in fact we told ourselves that this was the end. Yet we believe now that we had this experience of coming to the end of our tether that we might learn to trust, not in ourselves, but in God who can raise the dead." (2 Corinthians 1:8-9 PH)

If God can raise people physically, he can raise people who are dead emotionally. He can raise a dead marriage. He can resurrect a dead career. He can resurrect you from a health problem.

God told Abraham he'd be the father of a nation, but then Abraham had to wait until he was ninety-nine years old before he had his first child. The Bible shows Abraham's situation going from difficult to impossible.

But Sarah got pregnant, and they laughed about it. When the baby was born, they named him Isaac, which means laughter.

God often lets problems become impossibilities.

What's the best response to a dead end? "He has delivered us from such a terrible death, and He will deliver us; we have placed our hope in Him that He will deliver us again." (2 Corinthians 1:10 HCSB)

God Pushes You to Deeper Faith

God Pushes You to Deeper Faith -- Rick Warren

In order to build your faith, God will give you a dream; then he'll urge you to make a decision; but then he'll allow a delay, because in the delay he matures you and prepares you for what is to come.

The truth is you'll have difficulties as you're pursuing your God-given dream. This isn't because he doesn't care about you. It's one of the ways he pushes you toward the deep end of faith.

As God delays, you'll face two types of difficulties: Circumstances and Critics. This is a natural part of life. God designed it this way because he knows we grow stronger when facing adversity.

When Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt and toward the Promised Land, he had one problem after another. First, there was no water. Then there was no food. Then there were a bunch of complainers. Then there were poisonous snakes. Moses was doing what God wanted, yet he had problems.

God does this because he is building our faith and character. When we finally reach our limit and exhausted all options, it is then that God begins a mighty work through us: "I know, even though you are temporarily harassed by all kinds of trials and temptations. This is no accident - it happens to prove your faith, which is infinitely more valuable, than gold ." (1 Peter 1:6-7 PH)

He likes to place everything on the floor

God Builds Faith by Giving a Dream

"by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes." Ephesians 3:20
