Matthew 7: 7-11
"Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”
I am told that alligators bred in a fenced area for many generations won't go beyond the fenced perimeter, even after the fence is removed.
I’ve also heard that elephants tied to a stake when they are babies don’t have the strength to break the rope to become free. It is impossible to do and so when they are older, bigger, and stronger…they no longer try to break free. They still believe it is impossible and that’s why you will see a large elephant tied to a small stake with a weak rope.
We are not all that different, believing we can't do . . . whatever. (Fill in the blank.) We become certain that a mistake we’ve made, the influence of a person or a group of people, or certain limitations will determine our destiny.
God is in the business of bending time, creating new possibility from disaster, and you and I have inherited that business. Release yourself. Go beyond the perimeter…pull the stake out of the ground and set yourself free!
Are you feeling stuck or limited today? Ask, search, & knock with confidence and the door will be opened. We must try, try again.
Thomas Edison tried 1500 different types of wire to use on the light bulb. If Edison thought like us, we would never have light. So in a sense, unless we begin to think like Edison, we’ll stay in the dark!
I'm holding the high watch!
