God-given Dream Or A Wish?
In 2019 do you have a wish or a dream? As children we have dreams for the future—dreams of being football players, actresses, super heroes and firemen. But most of the time, those dreams end up just being wishful thinking. As we get older, we grow out of them. It’s good to play and have dreams as children, but when we grow up, we have to know the difference between a God-given dream and a wish.
When I was a little boy, I dreamed of playing professional football. That was definitely a wish!! Beyond our wishes though, we all have dreams placed inside of us by the Creator of the universe. In fact, the Latin word for “desire” means “from the Father.” One way to tell if a dream is really from God is that the desire won’t go away. You may have had it for years, but you still can’t let it go. In fact, you may have tried to let it go, but it won’t let go of you.
Today, as we begin this new year, search your heart and allow that God-given dream to surface. Remember, He placed those desires inside of you for a purpose. What do you desire? What ministry idea do you keep dreaming about? What are you passionate about? What God-given thought won’t let you go? Ask Him to order your dreams and every step as you embrace the destiny He has in store for you in 2019!
“A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], but the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.” (Proverbs 16:9, AMP)
Pray With Me
Yahweh, thank You for the dreams and desires You’ve placed within me. Father, I submit them to You this year, and ask that You direct my steps. God, search my heart, and cause my thoughts and dreams to become consistent with Your Word and plans You have for me, in Jesus’ name! Amen.
