Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled. Hebrews 3:15 (NLT)
In Moses’ time, God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. He led them to the edge of a prosperous land flowing with milk and honey, but they wouldn’t take hold of it.
Why did they miss out on their Promised Land and remain stuck in the wilderness for forty years? Psalm 78:41 (NKJV) says, Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
You see, God wasn’t limiting them. They limited their ability to enjoy God’s promise with their unbelief, and the same is true for you when you don’t believe.
Wherever you are today, God has more for you, but you have to believe it. If you don’t, your unbelief will cap you at your current level of living.
Some would argue that wanting more is greed, but Jesus came so you could have life—abundant life (John 10:10)! And think about it…you may be happy with your current income, but how many more people could you help if your income continued to increase?
Having a marriage that is stable may seem good enough, but it’s even better to grow a marriage that inspires others to go after building an awesome relationship with the love of their life!
Start going for it! Talk and act as though you really believe you will have what God says you can have. This doesn’t mean you have to do anything crazy like toss out all your medications. Just start thanking God every day for His promises, then take action. Believe and then do what you need to do to go to that next level.
