No one can put a limit on you without your permission.
Eli Whitney was laughed at when he showed his cotton gin. Edison had to install his electric light free of charge in an office building before anyone would even look at it. The first sewing machine was smashed to pieces by a Boston mob. People scoffed at the idea of railroads People thought that traveling 30 mph would stop the circulation of the blood. Morse had to plead before 10 Congresses before they would even look at his telegraph. Yet for all these men the sky was not the limit
Beware of those who stand aloof and greet each venture with reproof; the world would stop if things were run by men who say "It can't be done."
"Seek, and ye shall find" (Matt. 7:7). We attain only in proportion to what we attempt. More people are persuaded into believing in nothing that believing too much. Jesus said, "According to your faith be it unto you" (Matt. 9:29).
We are never as far from the answer as it appears.
It's never safe or accurate to look into the future without faith.
What picture of Jesus do we have?
Is He merely a good man with good ideas?
Or is He the Son of God, our Savior, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords?
A lot of people no longer hope for the best, they just hope to avoid the worst.
Many of us have heard opportunity knocking at our door, but by the time we unhooked the chain, pushed back the bolt, turned 2 locks and shut off the burglar alarm---it was gone!
Too many people spend their lives looking around, looking down or looking behind, when God say to LOOK UP.
Indeed, the sky's not the limit.
Another food for thought... worth sharing...:)
