September 29, 2010 ~ God-given Dreams

Where is God directing you today?

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:

“A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure”


Proverbs 16:9

TODAY’S WORD:

Oftentimes as children, we have dreams for the future, dreams of being ball players and actresses, super heroes and firemen. But most of the time, they 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. I remember when I was a little boy growing up in Texas, I dreamed of playing Quarterback and leading the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl Championship. That was definitely a fantasy! Troy Aikman ended up with the job and was blessed with three Super Bowl Rings.

Selah people' and friends I challenge you to join me today to look beyond our wishes as 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, I encourage you to search your heart and allow those God-given dreams to surface. He placed those desires inside of you for a purpose, and He’s going to use them to direct you into the destiny He has in store for you!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Father in heaven, thank You for the dreams and desires You’ve placed within me. I submit those dreams to You and ask that You direct my steps. Search my heart and make my thoughts agreeable to Your Word and to Your plan for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."
