Welcome back!
Once you realize that you have a unique destiny, the hardest part is getting started. No matter what comes after, once you take that first step you’ll build momentum, gain support from unexpected places, and encounter divine assistance. If you want to drive across the country but you never pull out of the driveway, your dream is no more than a fantasy. In life, God can handle the wrong turns that you make, and u-turns are even allowed. Once you’re on your way, total strangers may assist you. The trip may not cost as much as you thought it would, or it may go faster than the GPS device said it would. The point is, once you take a leap of faith and start moving, you set divine power in motion. God thinks “Finally! They’re on the road!” At that point, blessings you never could have anticipated start coming your way and your dreams take on a life of their own.
Yet hazards lurk in the background before we ever get in the car. There are three lethal obstacles to getting started: 1) comfort with our current life, 2) the cares of daily life, and 3) damage from the past. Any one of those things can prevent us from daring to hope we might even have a destiny, or believing enough to take that first step. Next time we’ll begin examining each “destiny killer” in turn.
Until then, I’ll be praying for you to envision yourself making a fresh start and getting yourself out on the road.
