Believing For What Is Possible
More of What Matters
08/06/24 • 11 min
God often gives us the dream first to help prepare us with hope for the future.
The dreams are what sustained Joseph during extremely difficult circumstances.
And your God-given dreams will sustain you too, no matter what your future holds. How do we stay devoted to our dreams, our family, and our faith when we are in the midst of our holding cell, like the one Joseph experienced?
First, when we doubt God, we must be honest about our feelings and questions. Being honest lets us move toward our relationship with God. Hiding our doubts and questions will keep us stuck and powerless. We will not reach our dreams by accident. We will not end up with a stronger faith after times of trial by default. This is an active stance—a battle.
Second, identify and deal with thoughts that are contrary to what we know to be true about God and His plan for our life. While Joseph was in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, he continued to believe God was in control. When the cupbearer talked about his dream to Joseph, Joseph replied, “Do not interpretations belong to God?” (Gen. 40:8). Abandoned by his family, alone in a foreign country, and wrongfully sentenced to prison, Joseph certainly had an excuse to wonder if God was present.
God has every right to remedy our situation or to let our worst fear come to be. Even if He doesn’t answer the way we want, God is still good and on His throne. Our responsibility is with our faith and actions.
Other People's Opinions of YOU

Other people’s opinions:
- None of your business
- If those opinions prevent you from doing what you are called to do, they become an idol for you
When you are on mission for meaningful things, you should have one person who you are looking to for validation or approval, and that is YOUR creator.
So unless those people loved you enough to die for you, they should NOT be who you are considering as part of the equation for your ability to impact people in this world.
God's Masterpiece

In case you struggle with having value with your life.
In case you frequently wonder what this life is about anyway.
You are not alone. Most people undervalue who they are.
Once we realize WHOSE we are, we can better understand Who we are.
Then have the audacity to actually believe it!
You are made for more.
The Desires of Our Hearts
More of What Matters

Maybe you are like me? Maybe you put attention and priority towards things that have no earthly value?
Maybe you struggle with the desire to see and do things that matter most for all of eternity?
God is growing my thought process around doing everything I do as if for the Lord.
He is teaching me that when my heart aligns more with His, that doors open to more of the things that matter most, including the least of these.
Less Bad Days

You know the ripple effect that would and could happen if more people were living the life they are designed to live??
there would be less lack of confidence, less lack of hope, less muddy waters for what this life is about. The more we see the world through the lens of expecting things to be “not bad” vs less bad, we can move on smartly with purpose, for purpose and on purpose.
Why Does It Bother You?

I do value what other people receive from me. But I should not be concerned or worried about how it is perceived. I cannot change people's perceptions because people see others based on a reflection of self. We don’t want to feel poorly about ourselves, so we will see other people in a way that justifies and protects who we are. We begin seeing things like a limited wardrobe as a way to help us feel better about ourselves.
You cannot compete with me sister or brother, I want you to be successful too.

What do you need resolve for in life? If what we are doing doesn't matter, we don't move!
Time With God
More of What Matters

When I think back on my deepest formed relationships in life and how they were developed it is abundantly clear that those relationships developed by investing time in one another.
We can spend time with people and then we can invest time with people.
When we invest in a deeply connected manner we yield a return on our investment.
When we spend time, I see it as the more superficial experiences where we exchange pleasant sterile formalities that lack the true depth of deep relationship building.
Today I want us to consider what it looks like to deepen our relationship with our creator, God. What does that look like?
