Thoughts For Dreamers

Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
1 Corinthians 1:26

You don't have to have a dream that others consider great for it to be important in God's eyes. If your dream is to be a great parent, that doesn't mean you don't have great faith, it just means you understand your calling. All Moses' mother did was to give birth - but oh what a baby! God protected her son when she couldn't do a thing to help him. Then He brought her to Pharaoh's house and paid her to raise him. And when you discover your purpose, God will provide for you too! If you want to see the resources come, get the mission straight! No matter how big your dream is, don't let it intimidate you! As a child, Joseph dreamed of being a great leader - which landed him first in a pit, then a prison. "Where's your dream now, Joseph" Understand this: your dream won't always look as if it's coming together. Sometimes it'll seem to die before it springs to life. The Bible says that Abraham ignored the fact that his body was almost dead, believed God and fathered Isaac, even though biologically speaking it seemed like a lost cause. Paul dreamed of taking on the world for Christ and folks around him called him a fool. Did that derail him? Not one bit. Listen: "We are fools for Christ" (1 Corinthians 4:10). God uses radical people who don't care what they look like, people who've survived difficult pasts, defied the odds, held on to their dream and declared, "My God is able!" And you can be one of those people!
