Proverbs 16:9 – A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure
Oftentimes as children, we have dreams of the future. Dreams of being cricket players and astronauts, super heroes, and firemen. But most of the time, they end up just being wishful thinking. As we get older, we grow out of them. It’s good to play and have dreams as children, but when we grow up, we have to know the difference between a God-given dream and a wish.
But we all have dreams placed inside of us by the Creator of the Universe. In fact, the Latin word for “desire” means “from the Father.” You can tell if a dream is really from God if that desire won’t go away. You may have had it for years, and you still can’t let it go. In fact, you may have tried to let it go, but it won’t let go of you.
Be encouraged to search your heart today and allow those God–given dreams to surface. He placed those desires inside of you for a purpose and He’s going to use them to direct you into His pre-destination.
Father in heaven, thank You for the dreams and desires You’ve placed within me. I submit those dreams to You and ask that You direct my steps. Search my heart and make my thoughts agreeable to Your Word and to Your plan. In Jesus’ Name… Amen!
