"Big Dreams, Big God"

12/6/2012

"You are the God who works wonders; You revealed your strength among the peoples." Psalm 77:14

How big are your dreams? Are you willing to contemplate the possibility that God has really big things in store for you? Hopefully so, because the quality of your future may be closely correlated to the quality and size of your dreams. If you wake up each morning with a smile on your face, with hope in your heart, and with big dreams stretching your intellect, you're more likely to make those dreams come true. But if you spend more time and energy dreading the future, you'll be tempted to give up on your dreams without a fight. So summon the courage to dream, and then get busy doing whatever work is required to make your dream come true. When you do, you'll discover that no dream is to big for God or for you!

"When the Answer Is No"

"Speak, for your servant is listening." 1 Samuel 3:10

God answers our prayers. What God does not do is always answer our prayers as soon as we might like, and He does not always answer our prayers how we would like. God isn't an order taker. Sometimes when we want something very badly, our loving heavenly Father responds to our requests by saying no and we must accept His answer, even if we don't understand it. The reason being is because God knows what's best for us and He has a plan. God answers prayers not
only according to our wishes, but according to His master plan. We cannot know the plan, but we can know the Planner and we must trust His wisdom, His righteousness and His love always. The answer may be "no" sometimes to redirect
us to the "yes." Therefore, don't get hung up on the "no," listen for the "yes!"

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul." Psalm 23:2-3

When our dreams come true and our plans prove successful, we find it easy to thank God and to trust His divine providence. But in times of sorrow or hardship, we may find ourselves questioning God's plans for our lives. On occasion you will confront circumstances that trouble you to the very core of your soul. It's during these difficult times that you must find the wisdom and the courage to trust God despite your circumstances. If you are seeking God' blessings for yourself and your family, then trust Him. Trust Him with your relationships. Trust Him with your priorities. Trust Him with your life. Follow His commandments and pray for His guidance and prepare yourself for the
abundance of peace that will most certainly be yours when you trust the
Shepherd!
