I’m working on a talk for our student ministry right now. One of the key thoughts in the talk is a statement that helps me focus my life:
You can’t out-dream God.
God dreams for you. He has brilliant plans for your life. Some of them He weaves into the fabric of your being from the very beginning. Other’s He presents to you as you journey with Him.
Yet so many people try to out-dream the Dream-Giver. The danger is two-fold:
- If you accomplish all of your dreams in life, but aren’t focused on God, you will find your dreams empty and meaningless.
- If all you do is accomplish only the dreams you have at this moment, you will miss out on so many of the massive things God dreams for you.
We must stay focused on God, above our dreams - so the dreams He has entrusted to us from the beginning can come to life in ways we could never imagine. We must also stay flexible to the opportunities He will present to us on our journey - so the dreams God has for us, that are so much bigger than us, can redefine both the story of our lives and the legacy we will leave.
