What if you never achieve all your hopes and dreams?
Wouldn't God still be God?
What if all the plans, visions and prophecies don't come to pass in your day,
Isn't God still the God of all?
What if the finances you've been working on for that building or business, go to another cause or fails to materialise?
Is it not God Himself that gives you the ability to get wealth?
Does that mean He's failed?
What if in our times the wars fail to cease but to increase?
Children and adults continue to die meaningless deaths?
Does that mean we serve a compassionless God?
What if you receive the grades you've been working for, get into the job or university you desired and it's not what it's cracked up to be?
Tell me whose fault would that be?
Is it Gods for not showing you your destiny more clearly, after all your steps have been ordered of the Lord?
God forbid that we blame Him for every mishap, every let down and every misdemeanour!
What if...
What if we walked by faith and not by sight?
How many mountains would you have removed with just a mustard seed of faith?
What if we prayed and interceded consistently and persistently for our countries, presidents and leaders?
How different this world would be.
What if we judged others by their intent and not just by their actions?
How loving and forgiving we would be.
What if we not only read the word, but believed the Word, the blessings and the curses?
What walking atmosphere, community and world changers we would be.
What if...
What if we not only met with the Living God but trusted His every Word,
And believed with all our hearts that Jesus Christ was born
to a virgin, lived a life that was pure and sinless,
What if we truly believed that He was the son of God,
Who came to give us life through His death,
What if we really believed that at Calvary every one of our sins were nailed to the cross and His blood cleanses us,
No more would we rehearse our pasts and ponder on our failures.
What if...
What if we really and truly believed that all things were possible?
That we are more than conquerors and over comers,
That our Father is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords,
That He knows the plans that He has for us,
Plans to give us a future and a hope!
Where would you have been?
Where will you be?
It's a new year so what if you......

I totally agree! We need to actually believe God and His Word.
Keep up the thought-provoking (and I mean provoking me to do something with what I read) entries.
Blessings!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
Exactly.
Which is why I wonder WHY so much time and energy is wasted by so many attempting to convince so many more that 'THEY KNOW THE TRUTH' and 'WE OUGHT TO LISTEN TO THEM'.
God teaches us that as beings of flesh and blood, that we cannot possible achieve the level of understanding necessary to be anything but marginally aware of the whole truth, and regardless of what we may fatuously believe about HIS creation and what tools HE chooses to employ in bringing it to fruition, our many conceits and strident arguments notwithstanding, the TRUTH exists independently and unaltered; and equally unknowable.
Pray for wisdom, and accept the gifts God bestows upon you with genuine gratitude.
Be thankful in ALL things.
