“God, the Master, told the dry bones, “Watch this: I’m bringing the breath of life to you and you’ll come to life. I’ll attach sinews to you, put meat on your bones, cover you with skin, and breathe life into you. You’ll come alive and you’ll realize that I am God!”—Ezekiel 37:5-6 MSG
Something I 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. Next thing we know 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 in order to feel some semblance of validation because we’re convinced God can’t use us any more.
God plants dreams in your heart like seeds!
Friend, its vital that you never stop watering your dreams! Never stop bringing them before the Lord and sowing into them through prayer. 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. It took me over a decade to realize this. But God is faithful and His promises are yes, and amen (2 Cor. 1:20).
God wants to unlock the dreams inside of you! He’s calling out to dry bones, “Come alive!” He’s calling out to dried up dreams, “Come alive!” Commit to God that you’re going to spend time with Him praying into your destiny allowing Him to water what’s been planted. He has a plan and a purpose for your life!
I love you!
