DREAM YOUR DREAMS

When I think of dreams, I think of the movie, Field of Dreams. And I hear those words, "If you build it they will come."

God gives us dreams. Some of us don't hear Him so those dreams are never brought into being.

Some of us hear Him but we are afraid to even try, therefore those dreams don't come into reality either. But leaves us sad and empty and sometimes bitter.

Then some of us hear Him and we heed His calling. We go out and begin putting things into motion to bring about the dream He has given us.

When we do that, we need to listen closely every day to hear his leading, nudging us in the direction to go and being confident that He will open the doors that are necessary to bring everything into fruition...after all He gave us the dream. So this gives us the assurance to know we are doing His will.

It takes courage to build the dream you are given, it takes patience, and it re-quires you to be humble and dependent upon Him daily. Each day will have periods of ups and downs. There will be times we are tired, there will be times we will get frustrated and there will even be times we will question when things seem hard or not falling into place.

The days we are tired, perhaps we tried to carry it on our own. The days we are frustrated maybe it was because we tried to make things happen.  Those times we begin to question because things seem hard maybe it's because we tried to run ahead of God instead of being patient for Him to move and open the doors.

Through all of this we will find our path if laid out by God, we just have to take His hand and let Him lead us on this path. He has a plan, and will reveal it to us one step at a time. Trust in Him.

We have to get His words down into our very being. Luke 1:37 says it best.
"For with God nothing shall be impossible." (KJV)

I am also reminded of God's word in Hebrews 6:15. "And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise."

We will do well to remember His words.

Getting and Giving!

  This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. I think this reflects the broader theme of obedience and devotion plus the rewards of faithfully serving our God. This is what Hezekiah instilled in the people. And it works. Hezekiah was blessed by God and prospered. It worked then, it works now. It is important that we wholeheartedly dedicate ourselves to God and obey His commandments. I read somewhere that sacrificial giving is of God's people. But it goes deeper than giving our money, time and talents. It goes down to the core of our sacrificing the necessary things in our own lives so we can draw close to God. Once the people drew close to God they could serve others better. This means we could too. It isn't all about us getting, it is truly about us giving. Blessings!

A Brief Rest

  God said,  "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 God is so gracious to us. He knows when we need rest. Several weeks ago, I had retina surgery and rested my eye. It is healing and I am doing well. During this time I followed the Lord's words and rested. Looking forward to being back within a few days. God blessings to all!

Change In Life

Philip Doddridge wrote "Blest are the humble souls that wait with sweet submission to His will; harmonious all their passions move, and in the midst of storms are still." Sometimes we get very discouraged with ourselves. We try working on the faults we see and it gets us frustrated when we don't see change. Be patient with yourself as you would with others. Just ask God to help you each day change the things that you can change and trust Him to change the things He can change. Change in life is inevitable, but making sure those changes are from God takes prayer and seeking His will for your life.  When change comes that is not of God, it is wise to again, go to prayer and seek His will in the situation and His guidance. Maya Angelou said, "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." Blessings!
