In one of my recent posts I mentioned some of the ways that I have felt God move me (see here), some of the things that I have felt on my heart and the ways I have seen them play out. There is no doubt that as you become closer to Him he works more and more in you and through you. In the devotional that I spoke of in that post He reminded me that "Sometimes I grant you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on". For some of us those glimpses may seem like fiction or fantasy, like something out of a fairy tale. But what's to say that a God as powerful as ours can't make dreams like those come true. I mean look at the story of Joseph, he had a dream.....a dream that neither his brothers, nor his father Jacob believed. A dream that at many times probably seemed to be washing away. However, Joseph was persistent and never gave up faith. He realized that the Lord was with him every step of the way, blessing anyone that he served. He saw the glimpses of his glorious future, and was encouraged to stay patient. He never once fled from the situation that the Lord had him in, because he knew that if he was faithful to the Lord it would one day pay off. Well, let's just say.......that it paid OFF! He ended up being the right hand man to Pharaoh of Egypt. Not too bad for a guy with a dream, huh?
You may have a dream, and if you're lucky, you may even be living that dream. But if you are like me (and most of you probably are), you have had some of those dreams and you have allowed fear to chase them away. One of the biggest combatants of fear is faith. It's time that we start believing in a God that can do the impossible, it's time that we believe that faith the size of a mustard seed can move a mountain.
