“Glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare
to ask or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.” (Ephesians 3:20 TLB)
Faith turns God-given dreams into reality. Nothing happens until somebody starts dreaming!
The Bible is full of people who had God-given dreams. Abraham dreamed
of being the father of a great nation. Moses dreamed of setting God’s
people free. Joseph dreamed of saving a nation and his own family.
Throughout Scripture, there are all kinds of people who were inspiring
dreamers,
like Daniel and Paul and David.
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or
even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes” (TLB).
Now, if there were ever a “blank check” verse in the Bible, that’s
it. God is able to do far more than we would dare to ask. What
are you afraid to ask God for? He is able to do far more than we could
even dream of.
I don’t know about you, but I’m a pretty big dreamer. I can think of
some pretty big dreams I’ve had in my lifetime. God says,
“Warren, think of the greatest thing you could ever dream of, the
greatest thing you think I could do in your life. Guess what? I can top
that.”
If there were tears in Heaven, it would simply be because we would
get there and realize all the things that we could have done if we had
just
believed God a little bit more. To me that would be Hell! Hell for me
would be being shown everything I could have accomplished and become as a
husband, a father, and a pastor if I had just believed God a little bit
more.
But there aren’t any tears in Heaven, and God gives you everything
you need right now to accomplish what he has planned for you. I want to
challenge you to dream big about your relationships, your marriage, your
family, and your career. Your faith can turn those dreams into reality,
because God is able to do far more than we would dare to ask or even
dream of. |
