“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.” – Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV)
Do you have a dream in your heart that hasn’t come to fruition? Maybe you’ve been laboring with or carrying your God-given dream for years and it has yet to come to pass. If so, I want to encourage you to keep on dreaming and moving forward with great expectation. Most of the time, when God gives a dream or an assignment, it usually requires a process. The process usually consists of testing that overtime will develop Godly-character and maturity in both the dream and the dreamer.
Let’s consider God’s servant Joseph (Genesis 37). When God ignited the dream in Joseph’s heart, he was just a young teen. Then a series of unfavorable events took place between the time he received the dream, until it was fully manifested. Joseph was rejected, sold into slavery, lied on, and unjustly put in prison. Joseph had to endure much hardship, but the opposition was never able to rob him of his dream and destiny in God.
As a matter of fact, all of the obstacles and negative events contributed to the development of his strong future leadership. Fortunately, what was intended for harm, God intended for good (Genesis 50:20). What Joseph spoke of in his youth, later manifested in his adulthood. The promise that God put in Joseph’s heart accomplished just what it was sent forth to do.
And you as well, can expect the same to happen regarding the dream that’s in your heart. Keep believing in your dream and God’s timing, because through all of the favorable and unfavorable circumstances things are unfolding.
Lord, thank you for every dream and desire that you’ve placed in my heart. You are a faithful God and true to your promises. And in due season, they shall come to pass. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
