The Second Principle:

September 11

Understand Your Potential In our Twelve Principles for Fulfilling Personal Vision, the second principle is that you will never be successful in your vision until you truly understand your potential. Recall that your potential is determined by the assignment God has given you to do. Whatever you were born to do, you are equipped to do. Moreover, resources will become available to you as you need them.

What this means is that God gives ability to fulfill responsibility. God will never call you to an assignment without giving you the provision for accomplishing it. If you understand this principle, no one can stop you from fulfilling your vision.

We must come into an awareness of our potential. In the biblical story of Gideon, we first see him threshing wheat at the bottom of the winepress, hidden from the Midianites, the enemies of Israel. The angel of the Lord comes to him and says,

“The LORD is with you, mighty warrior” (Judges 6:12). Gideon’s answer is, in effect, “How can you say that? The Midianites are destroying Israel, and I am the youngest man in the smallest clan. What can I do?” (See verses 13–15.) Yet the angel of the

Lord knows Gideon’s potential because of the purpose the Lord has for him. Through Gideon, three hundred men of Israel defeat thousands of their enemies, and God receives the glory.

What hidden seeds of potential has the Lord placed in you, ready to be revealed through your purpose and vision?

Prayer: Father, so often my own abilities come up short. Help me to look to You and understand that the ability

to fulfill my vision comes from You. I can truly do everything You set before me through Christ who strengthens me.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thought: Whatever you were born to do, you are equipped to do.

Reading: Proverbs 10–12; 2 Corinthians 4
