When you dream you move
closer to the way God sees things; you
see beyond your limitations; you move
from where you are to where He wants you
to be; you begin to see your goals in
their completed state.
The question isn't can you dream, but do
you have the courage to act on it? If
your dream doesn't stretch you to the
point of discomfort it's probably not of
God. Furthermore, God won't miraculously
lift you out of your dream and set you
down in the middle of its fulfillment.
The children of Israel dreamed of living
in the Promised Land. But the only way
to get there was through the wilderness.
That's where we learn to: (a) trust God
daily for the manna we need; (b)
discover His power in the Red Sea
situations of our lives; (c) be led by
Him when there are no clear sign posts;
(d) get up every morning with our eyes
on our destiny and move steadily toward
it; (e) refuse to become like those who
complain and never make it out of the
wilderness.
Now for a warning: someone will always
try to steal your dream. Always! Often
it'll be someone who never had a dream
of their own, or if they did they
abandoned it. It could even be a family
member who reminds you of what God
couldn't or wouldn't do through someone
like you.
What do you dream about? What has God
enabled you to see that doesn't yet
exist? You'll never out-dream God! For:
"God can do...far more than you can ever
imagine" (See Eph 3:20). |
