November 4, 2023 – Do You Have a God-Given Dream?
Proverbs 3:5-6
Sermon: 2247 Practicing the Presence of God, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Ponder This
You don’t find the will of God; the will of God finds you. You get your heart right with God. You present yourself to Him. You have the mind of Christ, you get in the stream, and you’ll find out that God will be guiding you.
God has a dream for you. I’m not telling you God has promised to fulfill your fantasies. I’m talking about a God-given dream. How can I tell whether my dream is a God-given dream? Think about it. Pray over it. When I was a kid, I said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” And then, after a while, I got a little inclination in my heart. “Lord, I think You want me to preach.” And then it was, “Lord, do You want me to preach?” Then after a while, it was, “Lord, if You don’t want me to preach, you better let me know.” And then, finally, “Lord, I know this is what You want.” Check your dream out. Soak it in prayer. God will guide you.
- When have you felt God guide you to do something?
