TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure" (Proverbs 16:9, AMP).
TODAY'S WORD , It's Monday, and your probably headed into work this morning. I was sitting here in my office thinking how 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. On Friday I met with a young man who said to me that he didn't know what to do with his life. He's only 21 and his whole life really is in front of him but he has no dreams. As we get older, we grow out of those childhood dreams. 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, I dreamed of being a great athlete. That was definitely a fantasy! 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. , 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! A PRAYER FOR YOU 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. |
