Wish Hard, Dream Big
by Bill Nichols
Posted: March 5, 2016
Dreams can come true, but don't pray like a narcissistic baby…
Sometimes we think and act like narcissistic babies. We wish hard. Dream big. And, think “I’ll get God to make my dream come true.”
The Bible says, “God can do anything—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!”Ephesians 3:20 MSG. Notice God’s word says that our wildest dreams can come true because God can do anything He chooses to do. The issue becomes getting our wildest dreams in line with God’s best for us.
Let’s dream beautiful, magnificent, and life-changing dreams for our marriages, churches, families, jobs, ministries to others, and our relationships; but let’s be careful to only ask God to make our dreams come true if they are dreams He put in our minds and hearts.
We expect immature children to ask their daddies to make their self-centered and even self-destructive dreams come true. But, as grateful and mature children of our Heavenly Father, we know better. Don’t we?
