I recall reading this statement though I don’t recall where from. While I do understand the context in which it was spoken I now see and understand it differently than I once did. The statement is: ” If we would only do half of all we could do we would astound ourselves!”
In my life today I’m knocking harder, seeking deeper, asking more frequently and as a result I more clearly understanding what God has asked me to do. I’ve seen God work in as well as through my life so I continue to develop expectations based on demonstration.
I have seen what God has done in my life so I don’t get surprised by God. He can do and has done everything. But that’s God; on the other hand can one really be astounded by doing a thing he was told he could do? “Ye can do all this and more”………. I don’t seek to astound myself, I seek to walk as God said I can. Should one ever be astounded, amazed or surprised by accomplishments achieved while empowered by God? This is a rhetorical question, for I already have an answer that serves me well at my current stage of growth.
God was here today! REL.
Thank you for the reminder! I too, am satisfied with my current stage in life. I am more aware of what I have been gifted with and sure that I use it the way God has told me to as well. Be confident in ALL your gifts and please dont stop using them. They are both enlightening and strengthening for those who may be weak and struggling in their hearts/minds. At times, I have been one who needed a strong word spoken in due season. that without your gift I may have missed. Continue to increase in the discovery process of ALL that you have been gifted with.
