Do you have a Dream?

Do you have a Dream?

 

     A lot of emphasis today is given to having a dream and dreaming about the future. The Bible actually has something to say about this issue (a surprise too many). So let's take a look at one of the lessons God gives us on this topic. Enter King David. David was a man after God's own heart, and he had a personal dream to build a Temple for the Lord. God told David though that because he had shed so much blood that he could not do it. However, David was allowed to prepare the materials and sacrificially give from his own fortune for his successor to build the temple though and David did command Solomon (1 Chronicles 28) to build a house for the Lord.

     We must place our dreams on the altar before the Lord. May our hearts cry be "Lord, if it be your will..." Many in America need to repent of pursuing their own dream rather than God's specific purposes and plan for their life (Eph 2:10). ...and if it be that God would say, your heart is right but it is for the next generation then may we faithfully prepare like David so that "Solomon" can accomplish the mighty task.
