Dream Big

God is bigger than anything we can dream up, so dream big! In fact, God generally gives us desires to accomplish things beyond our wildest dreams. We tend to write them off as not attainable, too hard or too expensive to consider.

Instead, consider the fact that power belongs to God:
Paul the apostle declares that nature itself gives evidence of the eternal power of the Godhead (Romans 1:20). From this knowledge we reason to the omnipotence of God this way: God has power. Since God is also infinite, whatever He has must be without limit, therefore God has limitless power, He is omnipotent. We see further that God the self-existent Creator is the source of all the power there is, and since a source must be at least equal to anything that emanates from it, God is of necessity equal to all the power there is, and this is to say again that He is omnipotent.
From The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer
We so often limit God to a size that we can understand and grasp. What a mistake! Instead, we should, “boldly go where no man has gone before” and where only God can take us.

God likes this kind of radical trust in Him because when we trust Him, He will do things that can only be done in His power, and when He does things through us that can only be done in His power we cannot boast about it and if we can’t boast, guess who gets all of the credit, attention and glory...God, the one who deserves all the credit, attention and glory.
