I was reminded to dream big….I was talking to a friend who
was going through a very personal struggle and she shared that she has her good
days and her bad days. Our entire conversation was back and forth about the
trials and the goodness and mercy of God.
After our conversation I flashed on how I allowed my trials
to derail my dreams and how I’ve consistently lived in the spaces between the “hiccups.”
I somehow managed to think about Genesis, chapter 41 where Joseph was
interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh. In all the exchanges Joseph knew the matter
was entirely in the hands of God. God had a purpose for the dream, a purpose
for the timing, a purpose for any and all delays.
Joseph was one of many examples of men who seemed to have
all the gifts and talents for leadership, but God developed the character and
talents over many years. Gifts and talents may be impressive and immediate, but
character is what God looks for and always takes time to develop.
Are you working and moving within your calling? Do you trust
God’s timing? Are you staying focused? Are you continuously working toward the
prize?
How ya livin’?
