Dreaming With Purpose

Daydreaming.

We've all done it.  I'm sure we'd love to do it more often if we could. And the reason I'm certain both of those are true, is because we've all looked at the clock at some point in the day and realized, "Um, I/We had best get a move on!"

Daydreaming is a refreshing break in the short term and may even bring about an inspirational and transformational change to a situation or circumstance.

A break in one's day is understandable. A break in one's life is problematic.

I don't know about you, but I've always wondered about people, who when asked how they are doing respond with "I'm living the dream!" Really? Although, I have one friend in particular, who when he says that, I think, "I feel like you're living mine". And parts of my life don't seem like a dream I'd dream... but that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't take it if it was offered to them.

So, to that end, we discover that there needs to be a contentment within our lives while simultaneously possessing a drive towards the life of which we dream.

A vision is like fishing.

What good comes from casting it if one is unwilling to invest the time and effort to reel it in?

Thanks for joining us for another #effectiveSunday and as we go forth, let's pray that today would be an effective and productive day, not only for our lives, but for the ministries that advance the kingdom of God. May we not get caught endlessly daydreaming, but casting meaningful and purposed vision. Pray that we would continue to seek first the kingdom of God and encourage others to do the same, followed by His plan and purpose that He has placed in our hearts. May envy and jealousy be far from us; that the spirit of comparison would not dominate our frame of mind. Pray that we would live and lead the life and faith to which God has called us; not someone else's dream, but His dream for our lives.

That our lives would point to none other
Than the person of Jesus Christ
And the work of the Holy Spirit within us
For the glory of God
And the cause of Jesus Christ.
