What if?

I was thinking this week, what if we turned our "what if's" into "what is"?

We need to learn to ask "What if?" in every area of life: our spiritual growth, our work, our family, our marriage, our ministry, our sphere of influence.

We all want a deeper relationship with Christ, promotions at work, family relationships that are strong and connected. We all want to be an influence for God.

"What if"?

However, in order to turn your "what if" into "what is", you must first turn your "what is" into "what if".

In other words, instead of simply accepting things the way they are, consider the possibilities of the "what ifs" in your most challenging situations. Take some time to ask, "What are the possibilities here? What is the best that could happen? How could things change, and what could I do to initiate the process?"

Dream. Set goals. Think of ways that God can use you in ways you never thought possible.

Don't settle for what is.

I know that I am not.

Ephesians 3:20 is a powerful verse: "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine....dream....(and I can dream some pretty big things for God's kingdom)....according to his power that is at work within us."

Let's don't sell God short on what he can accomplish through us if we are willing to once again ask, "what if"?

Explore the world of what if, and see what new dreams God can inspire.
