The Birth Of A Dream
Then God remembered Rachel;
he listened to her and opened her womb.” Genesis
30:22
Rachel was Jacob’s dream wife. They were very much in love. Like most married couples, they desired to
have a child so their love could walk upon the earth. God listened to Rachel’s dream for a child,
and He answered her prayer by giving them a son. Their dream became a reality named Joseph.
It is impossible to overestimate the power and role of
dreams in human existence. Dreams have
brought us lifesaving medical breakthroughs and soul-stirring revival
movements. Some of our greatest athletic
achievements are the result of a personal dream. The United States of America is the result of
a dream of real democratic government by a group of patriots. Martin Luther King changed the course of a
nation because he had a dream. Your
world and “the” world can be changed because of the dream inside you.
These dreams are your daytime dreams – your vision,
your hopes, your aspirations, and your desires.
A God-given dream won’t go away.
Search your heart and mind to get in touch with the dream God has put
inside you. Then pray about it and take
action!
Fred Wes’ dream to build a larger facility finds its
biblical connection in Habakkuk 2:3, “For
the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not
prove false: Though it linger, wait for
it; it will certainly come and will not delay.”
Prayer Focus: Pray that our
church’s vision will become a reality in God’s perfect timing. Pray that our dreams of saving friends and
family through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ will come about
because of our new building. Ask God to
reveal or clarify your personal dream that is His will for your life and direct
you in acting on it.
