Today I was riding with a friend and he noticed he was running low on gas and as he pulled up to the gas station he stopped his car and got out, however as he got on he got back in and said " I am a little bit short from where I want to be!" So he adjusted the vehicle to the gas pump and it made me think "Am I a little bit short from where I want to be!"
In life we have personal goals, dreams & Visions we all want to achieve, some time we fall short of what that goals is. Does that mean we will not reach that Goal? Do the dreams we aspire turn into nightmares? Well ask yourself this question "If I am a little bit short from where I want to be! Then how do I get there?
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The first thing, you must believe. Believe that God has chosen you to accomplish that goal and when he gives us the vision we must step out on faith regardless of what the circumstances are, no matter what the situation is we must believe that "I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.
So as we pulled off from the gas station, we begin to drive off the song "the power of The Lord rise amongst us" so we enjoying the song we start looking at commercial real estate, warehouses, abandoned buildings and As I looked at the abandoned building I thought of the movie field of dreams and I "quoted " if you build it they will come and my friend looked at me and we kept riding jamming to the music.
Now when my friend. Pick me up we didn't talk about looking at real estate, we was going to fix his van that was having some mechanical issue's. so as we travel to the next set of buildings we looked up and saw the sign that said "if you build it they will come". So my friend said that's enough confirmation for me.
In a prayer session we recently read the verse "ask and it shall be given seek and it shall be found" little did I know my friend was looking for a commercial building for a long time and today god showed him today would be that day that he will step out on faith and set foot on the property and declare it in the name of The Lord.
So we both excited about it and called the owner and ask when can we view it and he stated check with the zoning department to see if its zone for what we want to do. So I began to think another obstacle we must overcome.
Optimistically thinking I said let's go to the zoning department as we get there I ask what needs to be done to get the property zoned for what we want to do and the man said you need a special exception. He gave us the document and I begin to realize God is that special exception because he will make a way out of no way, in your darkest hour he is your light.
God is not only the source he is the resource. Do don't ever give up on God On yourself, the goal, or the dream! Because when god gives you vision he will give you the provision!
