Prepare for Greatness


So many times in life we’re told what we cannot do while God is leading us on to believe we’re born for greatness. We’re born to do great things and leave a mark on earth for the glory of God. But somehow life has a way of robbing us of our dreams and visions. We settle for small things in life.

Today, I want to awaken the giant in you! Cast off your small thinking and go back to the impossible dreams and vision God once placed within you. Instead of rationalizing why it cannot happen, ask yourself why not? Jesus said, “With God all things are possible” Matthew 19:26 (NIV).

Instead of surrendering your life for the “American Dream” – a house, cars, dog, cat and a nice retirement, prepare for greatness. How about you build a school, a hospital, an orphanage, a church, a thriving business to create thousands of jobs! Last year alone Warren Buffet gave away 21.6 billion dollars. You say, “Oh Sandy, if I had that kind of money I would do the same.” Friend, what you may not know is Buffet did not start off rich or inherited his billions. He went door to door selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, or weekly magazines. For a while, he worked in his grandfather's grocery store. While still in high school he made money by delivering newspapers, selling golf balls and stamps, and detailing cars, among other means.

Friend, a dream from God combined with hard work can get you anything and take you anywhere! Prepare for greatness. Dream big dreams! Preparation is something you can do. God makes you great!

“In the end, when it's over, all that matters is what you've done.” ~ Alexander the Great
