He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. ~Ecclesiastes 11:4
What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for a sign from God to chase your dreams? Maybe you are waiting to meet “Mr. Right” or for your child to go off to college. Are you waiting to have more money in your bank account? What excuses are causing you to delay pursuing your life’s goals? Whatever your reasons are for waiting, stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop waiting on perfect conditions to pursue your purpose and achieve your dreams.
I don’t know about you, but I used to be the kind of person who needed everything to fall into place before I pursued my dreams, but the Holy Spirit taught me a valuable lesson. My avid pursuit for perfection fed into my habit of procrastination, which kept me from pursuing my goals.
Life is filled with uncertainty, responsibilities, pressures, and to-do-lists, and it is easy to feel both overwhelmed and underappreciated. I also recognize that there will be moments when the difficulties we face make us feel outmatched and “in way over our heads.” Nevertheless, I would like to suggest that you are far more ready than you realize to pursue your goals. And if you will get in agreement with Jesus, you will start experiencing the greatest time of your life.
God is moving and He has so many incredible things that He wants to give to you and pour into your life. In fact, God will do amazing things in you and through you, so you can be blessed and become a blessing to other people. But you cannot wait for perfect conditions to chase your dreams, because you will never get started.
I want you to know that if you start where you are and with what you have, God in all of His greatness is able to take care of any lack you may have. It is important for you to know that:
When you are living by faith and not by sight, God will call you to move now and to have faith that your breakthrough is coming!
By the grace of God, you will accomplish things you have never been able to do in your past! Jesus is getting ready to place you in positions of influence, in strategic locations, with great purpose in mind, putting you on the path of success. Remember, all your help comes from the Lord! The time to get started is today! Your reward for starting today is the fulfillment of your God-given dream!

Say this prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today, remind me to follow Your lead. Help me to believe that Your timing is perfect, that You are always faithful. Give me the grace to be confident and competent in pursuing my dreams for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
