If I asked you, “Where are you going?” and you said, “I don’t know,” or if I asked you, “What do you want to do with your life?” and you answered, “I don’t know,” you would be lacking vision. Proverbs 29:18 says, “Without a vision, the people perish.”
If I worked at a gas station and you came in to get directions, yet when I asked you where you were going, you answered, “I don’t know,” then I couldn’t give you any directions! The ministry and the Word are to give you directions, but you have to hear from God to know where you are going.
Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for” (KJV). If you aren’t hoping for anything, faith won’t be alive in you! Do you have a dream? A vision? It’s a good thing to dream and to have hope! Some Christians think that dreaming and hoping are immature and that all you need is faith, but how will you know that faith is real if you haven’t hoped for something? Hebrews 11:1 also says that faith is the evidence of things not seen! What are the things not seen? Your dreams and visions! Maybe it’s something that you want to do or accomplish –maybe it’s seeing your marriage restored or your body healed.
God has planted “dream seeds” inside of you! A dream is like a seed. It doesn’t look anything like what it will become, and the seed sprouts and blossoms at different times. The right time!
What are some of the dream seeds that God has put in your heart and if it has taken some time for it to come forth, what does it look like now compared to when you first received that dream seed?
