DAY THIRTY-FIVE | DREAM BIG!
“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things that you do not now know.”
Jeremiah 33:3
Faith is dreaming God’s dreams....
What’s the purpose of life anyway? Only to eat, drink, work, play, and love? Or do you have a brain designed to dream dreams? Is your mind created to be an architect, drawing plans? Can you imagine beautiful accomplishments?
Think of this: the human being is the only creature in the universe that has the capacity for exercising creative imagination!
The divine quality of dreaming—what you want to be, where you want to go, what you’d love to do, goals you’d like to reach—all of this makes you the most unique creature in all creation!
You really are “made in the image of the Creator-God!” So you are fulfilling your destiny as a child of God when you start dreaming the beautiful dreams God Himself is inspiring in your mind.
A television is designed to pick up the moving pictures that are in the airwaves around you. Your mind was invented and created by God to pick up the messages and mental pictures He is sending your way. That’s exciting!
-Excerpts from Robert H. Schuller
Prayer Focus:
Pray that we will continue to live our Christian lives in the Spirit and not by our own human effort. Ask the God of grace to help you deepen your relationship with Him by filling you daily with His Holy Spirit.
A Prayer from Allen Jackson:
Lord God, Your Holy Spirit has provided inspiration faithfully to Your people, those with a heart for You, as well as to those who are still searching. Please keep the DBC family— all who love You in this place—in Your care and will. Guide us into the future with the faithfulness that we find all throughout the Bible, as well as in our lives, whenever we look back. Strengthen our love for one another as we take steps to prepare our church for both the present and for the people who will take the baton of this ministry from us in the future. In the Name of Your Precious Son, Jesus, Amen.
