How Big Are YOUR Dreams?

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Ephesians 3:20

 

As a kid, I had BIG dreams!  I wanted to be a teacher/baseball star/World Traveler/author.  In short, I had BIG dreams!  As I got older, my dreams got smaller and smaller.  I woke up this morning realizing I had accomplished my current dream of seeing one more day. Then in my morning devotion this morning, I was reminded that God's plans for my life are MUCH bigger than any dream I could ever dream.  So why do we try to limit God by having smaller and smaller dreams?

 

The author of the devotion I read said our dreams get smaller as we get older because we are afraid and seek security.  The more I thought about that, the more I understood the writer is absolutely correct!  God's plans for our lives will have an ETERNAL impact!  Even though we may not see it, the impact will resonate throughout eternity!  Our dreams, on the other hand, won't last more than a couple of generations as most.

Therefore, let the size of your God determine the size of your dreams.  Dream BIG!  Dream BOLD!  And let God fulfill HIS plan for your life and you'll see it is far better than our biggest, boldest dreams!

 

  

Picture It.....!

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Philippians 1:6 

 

I had dreams.  I had BIG dreams.  Dreams you wouldn't believe and couldn't imagine how on in the world they could possibly be feasible.  You see, I dreamed of being a giant who was the greatest baseball player ever.  It's amazing what we dream of becoming when we are children.  But when did we stop dreaming big dreams?  When did we lose the "big" part of our dreams?  God never has lost the BIG in His plans for us!  As a matter of fact, He has already planned out to get us to the point we need to be at just the right time we need to arrive.  God is awesome like that!

And here's a personal note:  Regardless how many times or how bad your past doesn't alter God's plans for you.
