Dreams

What do you see in your future?  What is your vision?

Martin Luther King Jr's speech 'I have a dream' is probably one of the most famous visions in history.   He held onto this dream till his dying breath.  It's very hard sometimes to hold onto the promises God has given and the visions He has for your future.  God has very different timing to ours, we humans are so impatient sometimes.

We need to hold onto our God given visions and dreams and believe we will live to see them fulfilled.

If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.
Where there is no vision, the people will perish.
Proverbs 29:18

It's awesome how God works and tells us stuff - I've been challenged recently about holding onto my dreams, and Church on Sunday spoke about Jeremiah 29:11:
'I know what I'm doing.  I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.'
Then this morning Word for today was about visions and dreams.

Life has a way of changing
And I can't deny that it's time
To let go of all the safe and familiar
And leave all I've known far behind

So hold me close, don't let me fall
It's a chance to prove, Jesus I trust in you.

Stepping out into the water
Walking into the unknown
I can't just stay here forever
Wherever you lead I will go
I will go with you

This is a day for new dreams
A time for my faith to be strong
My heart's finding peace in the chaos
I'm ready at last to move on

I might stand in a storm
But I can't deny, there's no safer place than by your side
Draw me close to you
