At times we feel as if we could impress God with all we are trying to do for Him and His church.Yet God has yet to  be impressed with even the most grandiose human aspirations (Ps. 8:3-4).You will never set a goal so big or attempt a task to could do in and through you life, Saul of Tarsus worked harder than anyone else to impress God with us efforts, only to discover that his greatest achievements were but rubbish compared to God's will for his life (Phil. 3:7-8).

  Our problem is that we become too easily enamored with our own plan. If we are attempting to do noble or difficult things, we assume that we must be experiencing the maximum potential for our lives and that God must, therefore, be pleased with us. Until we have heard from God, we cannot even imagine all that our lives could accomplish through us.

   We need to remind ourselves that the Father sees that "big picture." that His power far exceeds our limited imaginations. We must set aside our own agenda. however lofty. We must never become satisfied with our own dreams, for they are finite at best.

When we follow God's direction we will witness things happening in our lives that can only be explained by His powerful presence. How could we be satisfied with anything less?
