About the power to move forward…
Job 8:7 Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous
will your future be. (NIV)
No one's present circumstances should define their future.
Likewise, no one's past circumstances should determine their future. God gave you the
ability to move beyond your past and present circumstances. God gave you the ability to
move forward and make progress in your life. No circumstance in life can keep you down or
imprisoned without your consenting to be kept down or imprisoned. We have many
limitations. We have the many physical limitations of our body, the many limitations of
our sinful nature, and the limitations of our self-defeating ideas. However, the human
spirit, when it is aligned with God's will, has the ability to rise above any limitation.
Our wonderful imaginations given to us by God give us the ability to see what is not now
real. Incredibly, we are all capable of turning what we imagine into reality. The
capability and potential of our spirit, soul, and imagination gives us hope for our future
if we align our spirit, soul, and imagination with the will of God. Our humble beginnings
and humble present shall be of no consequence when we let the Creator do His creative work
and pour His creative power into our hearts. Even the person who cannot move about in the
physical world, can move about in God's kingdom. Even the person who cannot move about in
the physical realms, can soar into the utmost reaches of Heaven. Even the person who is
imprisoned for whatever reason in the body, can reach out and touch the face of God, and
then humbly kneel at the foot of His Cross.
