Kim Potter: Refuse to Settle - Kim Potter, Dayton, Tennessee - Feb 8, 2025
If You Settle for This, This Is All You Will Have
Recently, I was studying and reflecting on some insights that God was showing me. During this time, an event from over twenty-five years ago suddenly came to my mind.
I remembered when I had just moved to Cleveland, Tennessee to work for Norvel Hayes Ministries. Since I had relocated from another city, I brought very little furniture with me—just my bed and a bookshelf to hold my books and Bibles. I found a lovely little house to rent from a wonderful couple, but it was quite empty.
I began to pray about furnishing my home. In my prayers, God prompted me to create a very specific list of what I wanted. I made my list and prayed over it daily.
After a couple of weeks, someone called to let me know they had furniture available for me to look at. I went to see it, and as I stood there, I thought, "Well, it's not what I wanted or what was on my list, but at least it would be something." In that moment, God spoke to me and said, "If you settle for this, this is all you will have—nothing more than what you settle for."
I thanked them for their time and told them it wasn't what I was looking for. I drove back home to my empty house and waited for the provision I had prayed for. I waited and waited. For about two months, I waited in my empty house.
