Psalm 34:9-10 ‘O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.’

DAILY READING; Matthew 5:1-20; Exodus 28:1-29:46; Proverbs 13

William Carey was a mere shoemaker who rose to become one of the greatest evangelists in history.
He was born into poverty and at age 12 stopped his schooling to help support the family, first as a gardener and then as a shoemaker”s apprentice.
In the shoemaker’s shop, he had a fellow apprentice named John Warr, who had gotten born again. Through John’s encouragement, Carey also surrendered his life to Jesus. Then together, John and William eventually led their employer to Christ.
Carey served so diligently in the little Baptist chapel which he attended, that the church leadership encouraged him to enter into ministry.
When his master died, Carey began his own shoemaking venture, combining it with preaching and also much studying. He would spread out a book before him and study as he worked as a shoemaker. In seven years he could read his Bible in six languages.
One day, Carey, the shoemaker was asked to preach before an association of ministers. There he preached a message about the great need to spread the Gospel through foreign missions. His message was made famous by this phrase, “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.” As a result of that sermon, a Society for Propagating the Gospel among the Heathen nations was formed.
William Carey served as a missionary in India and accomplished so much. He translated the Bible into over 40 different Indian languages. He began dozens of schools for Indian children of all castes and launched the first college in Asia.
William Carey was a pioneer of the modern Christian missionary movement, a movement that has since reached every corner of the world.
The minister who baptized Carey gave this testimony, “In 1783 I baptized a poor journeyman shoemaker, little thinking that before nine years had passed he would prove the first instrument in forming a society for sending missionaries to the heathen…”
Despite starting out in life, with so few advantages, through trusting God, William Carey achieved great things for God and His kingdom.

There can be no limitation to the man who fears the Lord and puts his trust in Him. Though he may initially lack necessary resources, but with God on his side, he will eventually succeed.

Psalm 34:9-10 says ‘O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.’

Typically, young Lions are strong and swift and shouldn’t lack preys. But in conditions so dire that the young lions lack meat, God promises that when we seek Him, we will never lack good things.
Though our beginning may be small, our later end will greatly increase.
Certainly, a personal intimate knowledge of God is our greatest asset in life. While other people may glory in their riches, human connections or wisdom, for us, our confidence is in the fact that we know God, to whom nothing is impossible.

Jeremiah 9:23-24 says ‘Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me’

When you know God, you will do exploits in life. You may start out in obscurity, but you will eventually come to prominence..
God has ordained you for a glorious life of global impact on earth. Though your current circumstances may suggest otherwise, God who has the final say over your destiny, says ‘you are the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath.’
Indeed you are a divine project and God is at work in your life.
You have divine genes in you and you are born to overcome the world. As you remain persistent in seeking God and obeying His Word, you will surely triumph in life.
Therefore, never allow challenges, people or circumstances to deter you. No matter how impossible things may look like, focus on following God’s plan through prayers and consistent study of the Word.
Do not limit what God can do in your life. Raise the bar of your expectations because you are capable of greater things. There is so much God has deposited inside of you. Trust Him to bring them into manifestation in due season. As you keep walking closely with Him, each day your path will keep shinning brighter and brighter. Certainly, with God on your side you are indefatigable and truly unstoppable..

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your glorious plans for my life. Please enable me to walk more intimately with You so that I can overcome limitations and soar to greater heights in Jesus Name.
