‘Oh how precious life is when the desires of our heart come true and we take a bold step in faith to make a dream become reality.’
One of my dearest friends messaged me this morning with her ‘over the top’ news. You see she had prayed for many months about the possibility of expanding her home-based business into a storefront location.
She had done her homework. She knew the potential pitfalls, the what-ifs, and the resources needed. But she also knew that the possibilities could be endless.
So she continued to commit her work to Christ and she faithfully prayed that He would honor her requests; all the while waiting on His perfect timing and go-ahead as to the direction He wanted her to pursue.
She was almost to the point that her dream wasn’t to be when an innocent comment on social media landed just the right response for an available property.
God’s word tells us in Psalm 37:4 to, “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
She could hardly contain her excitement about this new venture. Oh there is uncertainty too, but she knew from her conversations with God that He had orchestrated every step of this so perfectly.
Timing and circumstances vary for all of us, but if we continue to lay our prayers and praises before Him, we always get His perfect response. We may have to make adjustments along the way, but He makes clear the direction we are to head.
What we do with His response shows our trust and faithfulness in Him. We know we serve a mighty God who can accomplish the impossible.
When we seek His will for our life we are best served to have an attitude of humility, to persevere through tough times, and above all to make sure that our goals and dreams align with His ways.
His word tells us in Mark 6:36, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” Jesus is the source of all hope and promise, so give all of your cares to Him. He will make a way.
How sweet the soul that faithfully prays, diligently commits the desires of the heart to her Heavenly Father, and quietly, but boldly trusts Him to provide just the right path for her to travel.
Do you have dreams and aspirations for your life? Take it before God and let Him do his mighty work. The outcome will be His, but it will be perfect for YOU!
I’ll be praying for you.
