What's Your Dream? (1)

Faith without works is dead.
James 2:20

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" (Ephesians 3:20).
