Dream big

We often get caught in circumstances and take our eyes off the bigger picture. GOD wants us to dream big. Don't settle for the everyday humdrum food, sleep, and work existence. Pray for a GOD sized view of things.

The Word is filled with those who looked ahead. Did they always get to see what they worked towards? No. But the world is better for their dreams.

Abraham was called by GOD to see what Canaan could be if he obeyed GOD. To see blessings that would not happen in his lifetime. David wanted to see a temple dedicated to the LORD but it would be his son, Solomon who would complete the work. Zerubbabel was called to rebuild the temple and because he was faithful saw it in his lifetime.

GOD wants you to strive for something beyond your reach. This so that all can see that is really HIS strength that empowered the dream and brought it to fruition.

Dreaming can be hard. There will be those who seek to tear it down and call it impractical. But if GOD is for your dream happening, then fear not, be steadfast and work onwards. It will come true.

Surround yourselves with a similar sense of purpose and vision. Always pray your way through the obstacles in your way.(And for that matter pray throughout) Know that it will not happen overnight. Growth is part of what GOD is accomplishing in this process and that always takes time.

I leave you with this prayer from the song, "Find your wings" by Brent Miller.

I pray that GOD will fill your heart with dreams and that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things.

GOD bless and keep you my friends,
