​​Don’t Let Anything Hold You Back – Live Your Purpose!

DAY 1 OF 7

God Has Even MORE in Store for You!

What if God Really Does Have More in Store for You?

I know, because I’ve experienced it myself, when people come up to you and say, “God has so much greatness in store for you!” and then immediately turn to the next person and say the same thing. It can make it hard to believe it’s really true.

But the truth is: God has so much MORE in store for you. 😮

Yes, He has great plans for others, too, but there’s something you need to understand to experience it… and I believe many of us fail at this.

In Isaiah, it says: “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes! For you will spread out to the right and to the left…” (Isaiah 54:2 NIV)

Oh, when someone speaks this verse over us, it encourages us—it makes us look forward to what great things might happen in the near future. 👀

But the verse doesn’t only say to enlarge our tent. It also says, “strengthen your stakes.” Do you know what that means? I’m going to say it plainly because it’s so important:

“Strengthen your stakes” means that your faith can’t be an option; it must be your conviction.

As a storm comes, God MUST know that you trust Him. As others laugh at your big plans, God must be able to trust that it won’t bother you because you’ve driven your “stakes of faith” deep into the ground. (See also Philippians 2:14 NIV.)

God gives you MORE when you focus on distractions LESS.

I’m asking you today with all my heart: “Don’t let yourself be distracted, because God really wants to give you so much more!”

Yes, He has great plans for YOU! Make Him happy by allowing Him to accomplish this greatness THROUGH YOU. 😊

So take new opportunities without doubting!

You are a miracle!
