For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do
(Eph. 2:10 NIV)
It's easy to go through life thinking that we’re average; we're ordinary. "There's nothing special about me. I'm just one of the six billion people on earth." No, when God created you, He put a part of Himself in you. You could say that you have the DNA of Almighty God. You are destined to do great things, destined to leave your mark on this generation. The truth is, there is nothing average about you; but too many times we don’t realize who we are. We focus on our weaknesses or what we don't have. We focus on the mistakes we've made or the family from which we've come. We end up settling for mediocrity when we were created for greatness!
If you're going to break out of average, you need to remind yourself every day, "I have the DNA of the Most High God. Greatness is in my genes. I come from a bloodline of champions." If you'll have the attitude of a champion, you'll live the life of a champion and boldly embrace the blessings He has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for preparing me to do the good works You have prepared. I am not average. I am not ordinary. I am created for greatness, and I belong to Almighty God. Thank You for Your faithfulness in Jesus’ name! Amen.
