Scriptures and Meditations for your Best Life Now By: Joel Osteen
The good news is that it's not a lack of resources on God's part or His unwillingness to show you His incredible favor that prevents you from prospering. All too often the problem lies within. You may have assumed that you've reached your limits in life, that you will never be more successful or do something meaningful or enjoy the good things in life that you've seen others enjoy.
Sad to say, you are exactly right... unless you are willing to change your thinking and start believing for something bigger. Interestingly, when Jesus wanted to encourage his followers to enlarge their visions, He reminded them, "You can't put the new wine into old wineskins." He was saying that you cannot have a larger life with restricted attitudes. Will you stretch your faith and vision and get rid of those old negative mind-sets that hold you back? (Don't mind if I do!)
You don't have to be bound by the barriers of the past. Start making room in your thinking for what God has in store for you. You must conceive it in your heart and mind before you can receive it. The key is to believe, to let the seeds God is placing in your life to take root so they can grow. Expect God's favor to help you break out the ruts and rise to new heights. Expect to excel in whatever you do.
Remember: With God, all things are possible.
