Is it crafted and forged by your own hands, or has it been written upon your heart by the Creator of the Cosmos? Though it linger, wait for it it will certainly come and will not delay.” It speaks of the end and will not prove false. “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tabletsįor the revelation awaits an appointed time. Therefore friends, dare to believe that 2023 will be the year that you see your dreams become a reality! Make goals in the assurance that God is with you and guiding you, and that the plans He puts in your heart are to prosper you and to give you hope and a future. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?” Yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, “Go to the ant, you sluggard consider its ways and be wise! In fact, it goes against God’s desire when we live a life without motivation or purpose, as He illustrates in Proverbs 6:6-9: Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?” “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Additionally, calculate the costs and benefits of reaching your goals, as Jesus explains in Luke 14:28: You can write down your goals in a journal, make a goal map, or set up a vision board. Once we have prayerfully considered God’s purpose for us, we need to write our goals down. However, in order to turn a dream that is in our hearts into a goal that we can evaluate and work towards, we need to first and foremost seek God’s presence to determine whether the pursuit of that particular dream is in accordance with His will. Proverbs 21:5 declares, “ The plans of the diligent lead to profit.” The Bible encourages us to turn our dreams into goals that we purposely pursue to achieve.

Or worst of all, they condemn their dreams into the deepest corner of their hearts and bolt them up tight with a padlock that’s inscribed with “This Could Never Happen to Me”.īut what if we could live the kind of life we’ve always dreamed of?
Or they come to us unexpectedly as a brief mental snapshot of an alternative future that evokes an unfamiliar flicker of hope in us.Īnd yet, too many people tuck their dreams in the mental drawer of their brain that’s labeled “Impossible” “Maybe in the Future”, or “Save for When Times are Better”. Our dreams come to us as wispy fragments of longing – gentle murmurings in the darkest hours of the night that rouse our minds and quicken our hearts with expectation, whilst our bodies ignorantly slumber. And some of us dream of living a normal life, protected from unjust persecution and liberated from the horrors of a senseless war. Others dream of starting a new business, being healed from an illness or addiction, or going on missions to share the Gospel. Some of us dream of finding the right spouse, or having a baby.
