“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” —Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV
God is faithful to fulfill His promises! Something I have learned through over a decade of living a dry life lacking vision—lacking purpose—is this: dreams are like plants—they need water to grow and thrive. And watering dreams happens in the secret place. It’s in that quiet time of fellowship with our Lord that He sprinkles His life-giving water on what He’s planted in your heart.
Often, we stop praying into our dreams because we don’t see the fulfillment quick enough. Soon after we find discouragement has crept its way in like a lion stalking its prey. And then, seizing the opportunity, the enemy pummels us with his lies and accusations “See… you were never going to accomplish that. You’re not qualified for that. I told you God didn’t really have a plan for your life. You’re too far gone now.” Next thing we know we are living life settling for any good thing we can get our hands on to feel some semblance of validation because we’re convinced God can’t use us anymore. Sound familiar?
FRIEND: God plants dreams in your heart like seeds and He saturates the soil of your heart with His life-giving water to bring nourishment and growth. Dreams are glimpses of His promise and destiny for your life. If you’re not spending time in His presence, you’re not going to see those dreams grow into what God planted them for.
I want to encourage you today to bring your dreams before the Lord sowing seeds of faith as you pray into what God has shown you for your life. When God gives you a dream or a vision for your life, it doesn’t mean it’s going to come into fullness immediately. God’s timing is much different than ours. Our role is to be a faithful steward of what God gives us and trust in Him, especially when we don’t quite understand.
TODAY: Cling to God’s promise for your life and allow His faithfulness to refresh and water your soul.
