Deuteronomy 11:24 "Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea."
A young mother looked spiritless as she walked out of a classroom in an Elementary School. She didn't know what else to do to help her son in his year-end exam because the fact he was ranked the lowest in his class. What desperate her the most was because her son was about to take school entrance exam for the middle school. She understood that with his result, it seemed impossible for him to be accepted in any favorite public school. Upon her arrival home, she told her husband about that matter. Both the husband and wife didn't know what else to do because they have been enrolling him for extra tutor. The only thing they could do was to put their hope in Jesus. They trusted that God would do something about this because surely God had a great plan for their son.
God performed His miracle and the boy succeeded passing the exam.
Unfortunately, his marks were not enough to enroll in public schools. The parents decided to search for information about some private schools. There was one good private school which was famous for its character education program. Though the school fee was high, they agreed to register their son there. They had a hope that their son would have better character although he wasn't genius. Fortunately, he was accepted in that school with some "notes": he must study harder and have good mark so that he could move to the next grade. The parents were willing to guide and help their son in studying, even until late night. They accustomed this routine for years. They spent their all saving money to pay the school fee and to enroll him in the best state run university. Many people did not believe that their son could become very successful in education, even they insulted their effort. But, they kept holding on the promise of God. They believed that God would help if they kept praying to Him. God fulfilled His promise; He made him as a successful young entrepreneur.
If you want to achieve something in your life, don't get trapped in the comfort zone. You must plan something and put it in action to experience great breakthrough in your life.
