Today's Scripture<br />
“Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about<br />
His mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains”<br />
Colossians 4:3<br />
LOOK BEYOND YOUR LIMITATIONS!<br />
Did you know that when Paul wrote this verse, he was in chains and in<br />
prison? He was arrested for preaching the gospel. Everything in his<br />
surroundings shouted "limitations," but instead of looking at his<br />
surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking<br />
for the open door of opportunity that God would have for him next.<br />
There are three times in life when people change because of their<br />
limitations. When they hurt enough that they have to, when they learn<br />
enough that they want to, and they receive enough that they are able to.<br />
The bible says there is a time and a season for everything under the sun.<br />
There may have been a time for you to be where you are, but that doesn t<br />
mean you stay there forever. Your limitations don t always have to be<br />
limitations if you place them in the right seasons of life.<br />
No matter what "chains" you may feel like you are in today, remember,<br />
we serve a God who's in the business of setting people free, and He has<br />
equipped you with His power.<br />
When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look<br />
limited, when you feel like you're in chains, remember, God is still at<br />
work. He's promised to walk with you all the days of your life. Keep your<br />
hopes up. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Like Paul, pray for those<br />
opportunities to be opened to you. If you fall, get right back up and<br />
press forward with even greater determination because He promises to<br />
break the chains and open doors of opportunity in your life.<br />
Prayer<br />
For The Day<br />
Father in heaven, I<br />
choose to take my eyes<br />
off my surroundings<br />
and focus on You. I<br />
choose to focus on the<br />
p a s s i o n and d ream<br />
You've placed in my<br />
heart. I trust that You<br />
are working behind the<br />
scenes, opening doors<br />
of opportunity. In Jesus'<br />
Name. Amen!<br />
