Keep the Dream Alive!

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV)
Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Does this verse mean that God will give you whatever you desire? At first glance, it looks like God will give you what you desire. However, it means something much different. If you follow the Lord, He will determine what is good for you and place those dreams in your heart. He will give you the dreams that will bless you and take you closer to Him.

With that in mind, it becomes clear that your dreams come from God. God has given you your imagination and creativity. He has a destiny planned for you and He wants you to reach it. So what are your dreams? What are the secret petitions of your heart? Are you keeping them alive? They are not just your dreams but His too. They are given to you by God. They are part of His plan. His plan is to prosper you; a plan to give you hope and a future. What steps are you taking daily to keep the dream alive?

If dreams are from God, then He wants us to succeed in those dreams. What stands between you and success? Have you prayed? God is for you in this since He planted that dream. With Him on your side, what will you accomplish? This is no longer you working alone. The Creator of the universe will help if you would just ask! Go ahead. Ask Him. He is longing to help. He waits for you to say something and He will bring His blessings to you to make the dream a reality. What have you been believing for? What are the secret petitions of your heart? You may not see a way but God has a way. Keep the dream alive. Bring it out of the closet, dust it off and get to work. Pray about it and see if God will not open doors you thought would never open. He will bring people across your path that can help. He will make a way. Stay in faith and believe. The dream is about to come true. This is your time.

Father, we thank You that You give us dreams. You created us to be creative and to be good stewards of Your creation. Strengthen us in the resolve needed to take the steps to bring our dreams to fruition. Each of these dreams is from You. Bless us in them and make a way for us to glorify You with their accomplishment. In your name we pray!
