Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Or are you dreaming of
when you can slow down long enough to enjoy it?
Busyness is
such a distraction at times, isn’t it?
We have such good intentions of pursuing our goals and dreams, and then
we find ourselves so busy with the urgency of life that we just don’t have the
time to follow through. Our dream is
destroyed...or at least put “on hold”.
But…if God
gives us a dream, He wants to help us to see that the dream is realized! We need to be aware of those stumbling blocks
along the way called “dream destroyers”.
Things such as:
- Fears and doubts; “negative self-talk” or discouraging thoughts. To combat these, focus on the truth found in Philippians 1:6 that says: “be confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
- Another destroyer is discouragement from others---Many times people are trying to protect us from disappointment. But we need to surround ourselves with cheerleaders who are strong prayer warriors who want God’s best for us.
- And then, of course….the main dream destroyer is old Satan himself. He tries to work through our circumstances to dissuade us from our dream. He wants us to give up!
Be encouraged by the verse in
Psalm 37:5 which says: “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him!”
The Message translation says: He’ll validate your life in the clear light
of day and stamp you with approval at high noon!”
Doesn’t
that fill your heart with JOYful anticipation?
Do NOT let anything or anyone destroy the dream that
God has given you. Drink your JOY JUICE
and dare to dream!
