Hebrews 10:23-25
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
I spent some time praying and reading my bible yesterday. It became one of those deep thinking times. I admit some days I just go through the motions. I read and pray and then get on with my day. However, yesterday was not one of those days.
I felt a like I was being drawn very close to God. I just couldn’t get enough of him. Then at one point, I heard a still small voice whisper, “What is your dream?” I was flabbergasted. I mean I was really speechless. I couldn’t answer.
For the past month, I have hit a desert spell you often hear Christians talk about. I knew God was around. I still had faith and hope. I saw blessings and answers to prayer, but I felt depleted. I just didn’t know where I was going and what I wanted to do. I felt like a warrior without a mission.
So when God asked me what was my dream, I answered the only way I knew how. I prayed God give me a dream. This morning he did just that!
I opened my bible study and again there where the words “What is your dream?” It was followed by some suggestions and the one that sang into my heart was writing. Earlier this month I was hit with some rejection of my writing. It really blew the wind right out of my sails. In many ways, I was giving up on my dreams. The good news is God wasn’t!
He popped Hebrews 10:23-25 in my lap to remind me why I wanted to write in the first place. Right before my eyes was my dream! I realized I had let one rejection kill my dream. Good thing I have a God in the business of resurrections! He certainly resurrected my dream.
What about you? What is your dream?
