DAY 17

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received (Ephesians 4:1)

Your Creator and Manufacturer built a store of miracles in you. He said you have treasures in your earthen vessel. He came to bring you an abundant life. God knows there is explosive power in you waiting to be released. Through the strength of Jesus Christ you can do anything you think or imagine, and even more. But not everyone will hook up with God. Not everyone will look for the things God planted within them to be used for His glory. Not everyone will choose to fulfill their potential. Indeed, the number will be few.
Will you dare to believe the impossible no matter what others say? The world needs people who will believe God for the potential buried within them, desiring their drama enough to move out and act. Only a few will find the kind of potential that allows them to live from the depths of their hidden ability. But for those who do, deep wells of possibilities will come to light as God reveals to them more and more of what He planned before the foundations of the world.

DAY 15

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well (Psalm 139:14)

Many people are passed by because others don't see what is in them. But God has shown me what's in me, and I know it is in you too. My job is to say to you: "Can you see what's in you? Do you know your potential? There's wealth of potential in you."
They say Michelangelo used to walk around a block of marble for days-just walking around it, talking to himself. First he would see things in the rock; then he would take them out.
Insight like that of a sculptor is seen in the Bible. When the world dumps and rejects you, and you land on the garbage heap of the world, God comes to you. He looks deep within you and sees a person of great worth.

Don't ever let anyone throw you away. You are not junk. God sees things that that everyone else ignores.
You are worth so much that Jesus went to Calvary to salvage and reclaim you. The Spirit of God connected to your spirit is the only true judge of your worth. Don't accept the opinions of others about you.

DAY 11

My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens, when I summon the, they all stand up together (Isaiah 48:13).

What happened when God spoke at creation? How did He get the invisible to become visible? Let us look at the word spoke.
Spoke was a process. What God spoke into visibility began as an idea in His mind. God first conceived in His mind what He wanted to create. He didn't just say, "I want this." The prophet Isaiah tells us that God created the earth by first planning its foundations (see Isaiah. 48:13).
After the plans were in His mind, God spoke them into existence. God laid the groundwork for the earth and spread out the heavens. He created the sun to shine during the day and the moon and stars at night. He ordered the clouds to fill the sky and breezes to blow. He made the waves to roar in the sea. He sent rain to water the earth and grass to cover the hillside. Thunder and lightning were created by His command; hail and sleet were formed by His word. A wool-like blanket of snow He produced for Winter; frost and dew He designed.
