Bold Steps 

So, how are you doing on your goals and planning? There is no better day than today to take a step in the right direction! How do you move a mountain? – One shovelful at a time. Think about it; today is the first day of the rest of your life. Don’t allow your past to determine your future! Yes, you can do it! Yes, your life can be better than it has ever been before! Many people say, “Dream Big.” But as we have discussed, I believe that for most people, starting with a small dream and putting consistent action steps towards it is the quickest way to a life of true significance! God has put many great things within your grasp, and it is your job to merely put one foot in front of the other and possess them! 

Proverbs 4:18  The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. 

Your time is the most precious commodity you have and needs careful attention. Plan your life! Determine your way! God wants to partner with you to accomplish great things! 

Jeremiah 29:11-13  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

God is a planner and has great plans for you! He wants you to know his dreams for your life and then to start planning, strategizing, and taking bold steps to see them come about. God does not release power, provision, and favor because of need but because of faith. Will you trust him enough today to start stepping in the right direction? What great blessing is on the way for you as you simply believe what he has put in your heart and put one foot in front of the other towards your goal.

Have you taken the time to hear God’s heart for what you should be doing? If you have, all you need to do is believe and start stepping! Be bold, set your mind on God’s promises, and accept that your best is yet to come! Don’t allow the devil to trick you into standing still! Today is your day to start taking…
