GET GROUNDED!
Beloved congregation,
As we gather today, I bring to you a message of inspiration and divine encouragement, aptly named "Get Grounded." "Exert every effort to realize your dreams, grounded in faith, knowing that with God's guidance, even the loftiest aspirations can become your reality."
Let me remind you that the dreams placed in your heart were sown there by the hands of the Almighty. They are not mere figments of imagination but potential realities waiting to be brought to life through faith and action. However, to see these dreams manifest, we must be grounded — grounded in faith, grounded in God’s word, and grounded in the belief that with God, all things are possible.
Being grounded in faith means that our actions are rooted in a trust that is unshakable. It means that when we work towards our goals, we do so with a confidence that goes beyond our abilities; we do so with the assurance that God is with us, guiding our steps and directing our paths.
The scriptures declare in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Your dreams are part of that prosperous plan. They are the blueprints of God's intended success for your life. But to reach them, you must be grounded in the conviction that God is your partner in this endeavor.
Grounding yourself also means to be rooted in reality, recognizing that dreams do require hard work, dedication, and perseverance. It’s about combining your faith with practical steps towards your goal. This includes seeking wisdom, gaining knowledge, and walking in obedience to God's commands.
In conclusion, my beloved, to get grounded is to build your life upon the solid rock of Jesus Christ. As you do so, as you work tirelessly towards your dreams with faith as your foundation, you will see the hand of God moving mightily in your life, bringing to pass the desires He has placed within you.
Stand firm, stay grounded, and work with faith. Your dreams are not just dreams — they are destinies waiting to be lived.
Amen.
