What’s Your Dream?

Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: "So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge."
Romans 3:4

Paul writes: What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way! First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God. (Romans 3:1-2). God has spoken certain things concerning you. Those things are His will and His purpose for your life. Your job is to recognize them, believe them, carry them within you and speak them often, because they give you a tremendous advantage. Then Paul adds: "For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid" (Romans 3:3-4). Get over the idea that the majority has to agree with you or believe what God said about you. Your dream must be independent of outside support. This is a difficult concept, especially in a democracy where others vote and the majority rules. The kingdom of God is a theocracy where only one vote counts - God’s! Refuse to put your dream on hold, waiting for everybody to get on the same page with you. Not only do they not have to support you, they don’t even have to believe what God has told you. You can’t wait until others become comfortable with your dream before you pursue it. They can misunderstand you, talk about you, laugh at you, spit on you, ostracize you, alienate you, not invite you over, refuse to support you, and you can still get there without them! Why? Because your God is a covenant making, covenant keeping God, and what He has spoken over your life He will surely bring to pass: "Depend on it: God keeps His word" (Romans 3:4 TM).
