God's direction

When God directs our dreams, we live in a way we never could otherwise:

(1) We'll be passionate and ready to go. Being part of God's massive vision for the world is a good reason to get out of bed. We each have a valuable part to play in God's vision. This is exciting stuff, and the truth is, the passion the world has to offer - romance, success, fame - doesn't have anything on Jesus' passion.

(2) We'll gain clarity on our God-direction. Having our life directed towards God's vision is an amazing way to live. Our go-to thought is, 'Does X, Y or Z decision bring me closer to God? No? It's probably not the right thing then.' Let's ask God to make his direction clear for us.

(3) We'll know what to do with our God-given direction. Have we ever got something we really wanted, and realised it wasn't that great after all? The latest phone? A promotion at work? None of these things give us purpose if they're not dedicated to, and used by, God. This is how Jesus is different to the world; he gives true meaning and direction. With God's vision, our life matters. He has things for us to do. Let's follow him.



So what now? Ask yourself: 'What makes me passionate, ready to go?' Could that be part of God's plan for your life? Do something practical today to begin running after it.
