God-Sized Dreams: Embracing the Visions He Has Given
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) - "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."
In a world that often tells us our dreams and goals are too big, we must remember that it is God who plants those dreams and visions within us. He is the one who knows the purpose for which we are created, and only He can determine what we are truly made for. Let us hold fast to the understanding that our dreams are not too big when they align with God's plans.
Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." While others may discourage us or question the feasibility of our dreams, we can find assurance in knowing that God's purpose and His plans are the ones that ultimately prevail.
When God places a dream or vision in our hearts, it is an invitation to partner with Him in His divine plan. He equips us with the necessary gifts, talents, and resources to bring His purposes to fruition. What may seem impossible or unattainable to the world is within the realm of possibility when God is the author of our dreams.
It is essential to discern between dreams birthed from selfish ambitions and those that align with God's will. When our dreams are rooted in love for God and others, when they reflect His character and align with His Word, we can be confident that they are part of His design for our lives.
We must also remember that God's timing may not align with our own. Sometimes, there is a season of preparation and growth before our dreams come to fruition. In these times, it is crucial to trust in God's sovereignty and continue seeking His guidance, allowing Him to shape and refine us for the fulfillment of His purposes.
Remember, it is not our job to determine the size or feasibility of our dreams. Rather, it is our privilege to be obedient to God's leading, trusting that He knows what we are made for. Embrace the dreams and visions that God has placed within you, for they are a reflection of His plans for your life. Walk boldly in pursuit of those dreams, knowing that with God, nothing is impossible.
