Scripture: Deuteronomy 34:1-7
Moses goes to Mount Nebo where he sees the wide stretch of lands. Then the Lord said to Moses, “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”
Thought for the Day: Moses was given what seemed to be an impossible mission, yet he maintained forward focus, a sustaining vision, and discipline. The final chapter of Dare to Dream is packed full of inspirational sayings to help conquer burnout and adapt an attitude of perseverance and purposefulness. Here are a few tidbits of inspiration:
If you want to walk on water, you’ve got to first get out of the boat.
If you want to walk on water, don’t be afraid of getting a little wet.
Saints are sinners who kept on going.
Slaughter notes that we do not need to have all the resources at the outset of our mission to accomplish what God is calling us to do. God can use supernatural means to reach the hearts of unbelievers and those He calls. But He also uses you and me! Don’t be afraid to go live out your Big-Hairy-Audacious-God-Purpose!
Prayer: Lord of All Creation, I am so thankful that you never let go of me. Clear my vision and renew my focus and give me courage to persevere for the sake of Your kingdom. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
