If you have a big dream that God has placed in your heart
are you pursuing it? Are you in motion, or are you sitting
idle? Maybe you’re waiting for God to do something.
Some people will say that God can do anything. I disagree.
God cannot do just anything. He has a nature and he will not
act in a manner that is inconsistent with His nature.
For example, God cannot lie. It’s against His nature to lie.
It’s also against His nature to make you do something that
you refuse to do. Like, accept His Son who died on the cross
to save you from your sins. Jesus only saves us according to
our belief and confession in Him (Romans 10:9,10). It’s our
responsibility to ensure our salvation just like it is our
responsibility to pursue our dreams.
It is our responsibility to pursue our dreams, but remember
what Jesus said in John 15:5, “Without Me, you can do
nothing.” Obviously, we need the Holy Spirit’s help in
everything we set out to do. In our own strength, it’s
fleshly, weak, frustrating, and it will surely fail. “Unless
the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it”
(Psalm 127:1). We simply must be in agreement with God by
aligning our will up with His.
If we know what you are supposed to do, then we need to do
it. The Holy Spirit releases His power the moment we take a
step of faith. Hebrews 11:6 says, "Without faith it is
impossible to please God."
It’s been said, “You can’t steer a parked car.” Just like a
parked car cannot be steered, God cannot steer us in the
direction we need to go unless we are moving.
God waits for us to act first. Just like when Joshua faced
an impassible obstacle, the flooded waters of the Jordan
River receded only after the leaders stepped into the
rushing current in faith (Joshua 3:13-17).
Step out in faith and go after those things that God has
called you to do. Time waits for no one.
If you are not sure what exactly you are supposed to be
doing, maybe you just need to "step out to find out." He
will reveal His will to you after you get yourself into
motion.
On the other hand, if you have a big dream that you
absolutely know without a shadow of a doubt that God has
called you to pursue, are you pursuing it?
Don’t wait for God. He’s already done His part by giving you
the dream in the first place. He will only do more as you
get moving. By doing something you are proving your faith in
Him, for faith without works is dead (James 2:17).
