Proverbs 13:19

It is pleasant to see dreams come true,
but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.

First, I want to point out that our dreams should be God’s Dream for us. Naturally humans desire money and fame, but we need to die to our own dreams and take up God’s dream for us.

In the verse above we see that it is a good thing when we achieve our dreams. It is a great feeling when we accomplish something that we longed for with all of our hearts. How much greater will that feeling be when we fulfill God’s dream.

One thing I learned is that a lack of passion is something powerful that paralyzes God’s dream for us. We can have a dream and a nice set of goals but when we lack the passion there is no way we will make the effort to achieve that dream or those goals.

Here in the verse we see a clear killer of dreams, evil. Now evil isn’t just when the devil, evil is in the decisions we make. We make our own decision to choose evil, now with that we have the ability to make our dreams come true. It is that simple, probably not easy, but that simple. So make the decision to turn from evil and let God’s dream unfold in your life, don’t be a fool and let evil keep you from fulfilling God’s Dream. Don’t just dream big, but dream God’s dream.
