Thinking BIG

Small thinkers live small lives

"Ask of Me, and I will give you
 the nations for your inheritance, 
and the ends of the earth 
for your possession." Psalms 2:8



Thinking big, in a nutshell, is to think like God. God's thoughts are more than big. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts," He said in Isaiah 55:9.

Man is limited only by his thoughts. And unfortunately, most people have been prisoners in the tiny prisons of their small thoughts.

You can only do what you think is possible. That's why people who think small, live small lives.

What is it to think small?

It's to think of what you don't have instead of what you do.

It's to think of what you can't do instead of what you can.

It's to think of a problem instead of a solution.

It's to think of what's going against you instead of what you've got going for you.

It's to think that you already have enough because there are people poorer than you.

It's to think that you've tried everything, when you've really only tried a handful of things.

It's to think that successful people are just ‘lucky' and that you aren't one of them.

It's to doubt you'll ever succeed and to believe you're destined to fail.

You can only do what you think is possible. Henry Ford said, "If you think you can or you think you can't, you will ALWAYS be right."

So when you catch yourself wondering why your life is the way it is, why it doesn't get better, the answer will inevitably come down to your thoughts.

To think big is to think like God. And to think like God, you need to know what and how He thinks. And to know what and how He thinks, meditate on what He said in His Word. Here's just one example:

"Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession." Psalm 2:8

What was it again you asked Him the last time you prayed?
