"Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:2-3 NKJV
We all dream; it's a part of life. But the type of dreams here are of the 'longing and yearning' type. Some young boys and young men, dream of being a footballer and some go on to live their dream. Some young girls and young ladies, dream of being a film star or a pop singer. Again, some go on to see this fulfilled. Those who don't see their dream fulfilled may view it just as it was - a dream, there are more important things to think about. Others may have hung on to their dream but, never achieved the break they were searching for. You may be one of the these.
What was your dream? Is it still your dream but you feel it could never happen now? Do you know something, that may be true because of different circumstances. But, then again, that dream may still be achievable but you may have decided that it will never happen. Hear what I say here - 'you have decided'. What about God? Where does He fit in all of this? For this type of dream it is never too late, you just need to keep it alive otherwise it will die and you will have regrets later in life as you look back thinking, 'I could have done that'.
People can get in the way of your dream; they can intentionally block the path. This may be through jealousy or fear that you are better than they are at a particular thing. Therefore, they may do everything to prevent your success. When this happens, you have to rise above it all and refuse to allow it to bother you in any way. Remember, God can make a way where there isn't one. So, don't worry and don't become stroppy about them.
Listen, is this you? You have always, as long as you can remember, dreamed about being a leader within a church; a worship leader or even a preacher and you know without doubt, that God has put this in your heart, yet up to now you have been left on the sidelines? If this is you, don't give up, just trust God. He has a plan. Then again, your dream maybe training to be a solicitor, a doctor or psychologist yet money is tight and the cost for a university place will be very costly for many years. Is the dream from God? If it is, (and you'll know this from the excitement within you), push a few doors open, make some enquiries and listen carefully to what you are told. Don't give up. If the dream is only yours and not God's, you will know and He'll help you cope with this disappointment.
For many reading this, there is something that has been re-awakened. Don't ignore it. Give it your best attention today. That dream is ready to unfold!
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
