Genesis 15:4 & 5 Then the word of the Lord came to him: :this man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir." He took him outside and said, look up at the heavens and count the stars - if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
God had promised Abram that he would have a great number of descendants, but he had no children. God assured him that he from his own body he would produce offspring. God did not use Abram's servant to fulfill his promise, but Abram would produce descendants that would bless the world.
We do not always know what will happen in our lives. Sure, we may dream and plan to accomplish things, but only God knows (Proverbs 16:1). But, we can be assured that coming from us, will be blessings that affect the world around us. He will work through us to accomplish it (Philippians 2:13).
A and K, sometimes you may think that what you do makes no difference. Others seem to be effective at serving the Lord and all your work comes to nothing. But, fear not. God wants to work in you to produce a harvest that will affect many more than you can ever imagine. This is not just for others. They are blessings coming from you. So, dream, plan, and serve knowing that God is working through you to accomplish great things!
