“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.” – Thomas Edison
Not only is this true for all human beings, this is especially true for Jesus followers.
If we all did the things we are capable of doing in Christ, we would literally astound the world.
By myself I am able to do some things, but I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13).
What does this mean practically?
For me it means that I am underachieving, that I’ve set my goals and expectations to low.
As William Carey said, “Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God!”
May my dreams be God-sized this year, and may He do great things through me!
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. (John 14:12)
‘capable in Christ’
On our own, not much use really.
In Christ, doing what He gives me to do and Him enabling me to do it. I want this like you do.
To hunger for Him and to be and do what He wants me to do.
Please Lord.
