Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord said
to Abram, “Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s
household to the land that I will show you. I could only imagine the emotions Abraham had
experienced when the Lord told him to leave his life to pursue a new one. With all the unknowns, he was faithful and
obedient to follow God’s command.
Sometimes, the dreams
God gives us seem impossible, unrealistic, or unreachable but that is the
beauty of serving a powerful God; we do not know how he’s going to make it happen but we rest in that he does.
You see,
God inputs the desire of that dream/vision in our hearts so we can go an
accomplish it. Know that He will never
give you a desire that He will not bring to pass. Our job is to listen, be obedient and
faithful in the things he gives you. Without
a question, you will walk through uncomfortable valleys, but know that he is
with us. There may be moments of doubtfulness or insecurities however know that he will clear your path, as they are just distraction attempting to sway you from
he’s blessings. He did not say it was
going to be easy but he has promised his knowledge, wisdom, protection,
grace, faithfulness, to us all.
There are times when we don’t pursue because of fear. My
advice to those who fear is to do it with fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “for God as not given us the spirit of fear,
but the spirit of love, power, and self-control. The worst
thing that can happen is that you will fail at it. Nevertheless, do not
be discouraged, become encourage knowing that failing gives you more
opportunity to become a skillful dreamer in making your dreams a reality. Proverb
11:12 says, “Not getting what you
want can break your heart, but a wish that comes true is a life-giving tree.”
Sometimes our dreams
don’t become a reality because we allow it to remain dormant in our
minds. Well, you don’t have to be content with your current
situation because God has bigger dreams to accomplish for you. I Corinthians 2:9 says, “What God has planned for people who love
him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never
even entered our minds!” You do not know
exactly how he’s going to make that dream a reality, hey, you don’t even a plan,
but know that God does, your job is to act on it. Start making plans in making it happen by taking small steps.
Did you know that an idea is just a
dream until you actualize it? Be ambitious about life,
seeking greater things and do not limit yourselves knowing that we serve a God
with no limitations. Romans 11:34 says, “Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who
can understand his decisions or explain what he does. Without a doubt, it is difficult to accomplish things at times,
but the reward is greater for those who work diligently.
As your relationship with
God strengthens, your faith increases becoming fearless in reaching what once
seemed impossible.
Psalm 23
The Lord is
my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he
leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a
table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with
oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
