A few days ago I felt challenged by a quote that a friend posted in a blog to believe for impossible things each morning when I wake up. The quote is by Lewis Carroll and says, “Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” Although I understand the importance of being in a corporate setting, I began to realize again that I must be willing to go after breakthrough as if I am the only one doing it. I must be willing to run until my shoes fall apart (which they did yesterday!).
So this morning I took it upon myself to believe six impossible things before breakfast. It was a good exercise. A few years ago when I was in a song writing group we wrote down our thoughts each morning when we would wake up as a way of getting the creative juices flowing. It just occurred to me how believing for impossible things is a good way to start dreaming with God! That’s a good word right there!
It is vital that we cut all stinking thinking out of our mind and start thinking what God thinks. How are we going to do the impossible when we quit running the moment conditions aren’t perfect? When I was really into working out, which seems like so long ago, I would run every morning to the gym and work out. It didn’t matter if it was bitterly cold or if it was raining, I would still do it. I realized around this time last year that if I was committed as much to God as I was to keeping my body in top physical shape then I could change the world.
It is time for distractions to get out of the way and to run the race in order to win. If I are running a marathon I am not going to stop running because I am worried about the stock market. Yet I am distracted away from God so easily! Time to lace up the running shoes and get to work!
