TRUST, DELIGHT, COMMIT

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Got some big plans?

Some major aspirations?

Some dreams? 

Have you talked to GOD about them?

You see, GOD has a wonderful strategy when it comes to our aspirations and dreams.

I don’t know if you knew it, but when we trust and fully commit to GOD’s plan for our lives and ENTRUST GOD with the dreams of our hearts and are FAITHFUL to follow His direction and His plan, He promises to fulfill our hearts desires.

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this… Psalm 37:3-5 (ERV)

So, trust. 

Take delight.

And commit your ways and openly share with GOD the desires of your heart!

Now I am not saying to walk up to GOD and say, “I trust you for a million dollars” and expect a million dollars to fall from the sky. 

GOD isn’t our supernatural vending machine.

But GOD will examine the desires of our heart and if we are trusting, if we are taking delight in His Word and instruction, if we are listening to Him, our dreams will inherently start to come into alignment with HIS WILL and HIS perfect direction for lives. His dreams for us will begin to become our dreams for us and HE and those will never disappoint!

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! – Ephesians 3:20

“The biggest wall you have to climb is the one you build in your mind: Never let your mind talk you out of your dreams, trick you into giving up.  - Bennett

Therefore, openly share your dreams with the Father.

Be fearless as you aspire toward them TOGETHER!

Take the steps each day to be sure your life expresses commitment to Jesus. - Charles Stanley 

And when you do, GOD will begin to open doors and show you ways to see those dreams fulfilled!

For when our dreams and GOD’s dreams for us come into alignment, when we trust His perfect will for our lives, we will begin to experience REAL contentment and joy and that at the end of the day is a TRUE HEART'S DESIRE!

Remember:

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him. - Jim Elliot 

And that goes for those dreams too.

I love you all!
