God has placed great things in you. As Jeremiah 29:11 states, "‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.’" Within each person is the potential for greatness.

Greatness does not come easy though. This proverb teaches us that in order for us to get to the purposes and plans that God has given us, we have to take the time to draw them out of ourselves. As a person goes to a well and drops a bucket down and brings it back up in order to get water, so we must examine our heart and draw out what God has placed in us.

Spend some time with God, drawing out the purposes of your heart. It is a rewarding adventure when you begin to see what God is doing in your life and choose to follow Him unconditionally. Don’t be frustrated if you aren’t where you think you should be. Remain faithful where you are at and allow God to mold you into what He wants to. Your current place does not have to be your final destination. Continue pressing on in Him!
