What is it that God wants you to accomplish? What dream has God planted in your heart? I think for many people, they have this dream, goal or ambition they feel they are “called” to accomplish. There is something they are “meant” to be or do. There is a vision they are “supposed” to follow. What often happens is…it DOESN’T happen! There is a delay in the opportunity to pursue it. There is a roadblock that seems to obstruct it. There are closed doors instead of open doors, and I think within that, we often MISS opportunities to develop something that ENABLES the pursuit of our dreams. Ready?
We end up focusing on the timing of our dreams instead of dreaming about our time! (That is either deep or stupid I’ll let you decide)
We spend SO MUCH TIME thinking about our dream (which may never happen) that we don’t pay attention to the time we already have…NOW! The biggest opportunity we miss in waiting for our dreams, is developing our character, and to be honest, that is the GREATEST THING TO PURSUE and the ONLY thing that matters! If my character doesn’t develop my dream doesn’t matter.
Psalm 105:19 says Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character! And if you remember the story, Joseph PASSED the test BECAUSE he developed his character. He dreamed about his time instead of spending time thinking about his dream. He lived for the NOW and not for the “to come”. Food for thought. If we would focus on our today instead of hoping for our tomorrow, our dreams may just happen instead of drowning in our sorrow!
Until the time comes,
Jeff
