Today's thought - 13 August 2026 (What is your dream)

 

How are you today, my friend? I want to ask you a question and do take some time to think about it. What are your dreams? Do you have a dream? Have you achieved some of your dreams or have you given up on them?

The Bible says in Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart”.

Psalm 21:2 says, “For you have given him his heart’s desire; you have withheld nothing he requested”.

In Matthew 6:33 the Lord says, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”.

In Jeremiah 29:11 we read, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope”.

These are just a few verses from a Bible filled with similar verses. Google says that the exact noun "prosperity" appears about 17 times to 30 times in standard Bible translations like the King James Version, but related Hebrew and Greek words meaning to "prosper," "flourish," or be "successful" (such as tsalach or euodoo) appear roughly 90 to 100 times in Scripture.

It is said that dreaming or daydreaming about the future is generally good because it helps you set goals, plan actions, and feel hopeful. Habakkuk 2:2 says, "Write the vision and make it plain”.

My friend, personally I believe it is important to dream and have goals. Share your dreams with the Lord and make it plain. Write them down and put them up somewhere where you can see them. Let God guide you in your dreams and allow Him to have input in them. In the end our dreams should bring glory to God. Let God do the impossible, but you must still do the difficult part. Nothing will just fall into your lap and yes, it could also happen, but we should not stagnate on our dreams but instead plan and work towards them. If God so clearly wants all of us to prosper then let us seek His guidance in this. Many people grew up in terrible circumstances to rise above that and to be very successful in life. Why? They keep trying. They did not give up and they keep at it. Northing worth its value is easy to obtain and I believe that the things you work hard for, you will protect and appreciate.

Come with me today and dream. Write your vision down and let God speak into your life as you align your dreams with His dream over your life. Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen”.

Have an awesome day and meditate on this scripture as you dream today.
