Dream Big By: KB 9 18 15

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’?
