Fountains of potential

"All of my fountains are in you" Psalm 87:7 (NIV)

Capacity and potential. It's fair to ask, "What am I capable of?" It makes me evaluate my ambition. And what prospects for growth are in me? That question speaks to my desire and plan for growth. In My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers says, "It is the saddest thing to see people in the service of God depending... on what they have by the accident of heredity." Natural ability can take me far, no doubt. But, what I'm after is to delve deep into my potential because of who God is and that Divine potential in me. Fountains of God in me means something beyond myself can propel accomplishments. A note: One thing I know about the character of God is that self-centered pursuits are dead end pursuits. We're meant to bless beyond ourselves. That's the potential we're talking about here. My prayer for today: "Lord, I'm yours. I submit my life to you, for your use and pleasure. May your fountains flow through this life." Amen.
