Unseen Things

     After giving Jesus the good, the bad, and the ugly of our lives, the God of the universe begins His miraculous work. He is the One who spoke the earth into being. He is the One who placed each hair on our heads, who names each star in the sky. He is the One who can heal, comfort, and walk us through our suffering. He is the One with the nail prints on His hands. He is the One who willingly left the perfection of paradise to take on the passion of the cross. He is the One who shed His blood in order to remove the gap between God and man. He is the One to take it all, the baggage, the distress, and the hopelessness and turn it into something precious.

Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

     The first part of the above verse is the most valuable. Take delight in the Lord. As you grow to know Him and understand His ways, His desires will become your own. His dreams for you will become more clear. The hidden dreams in God’s heart for you will, most likely, be far different from what you have been dreaming for yourself. Most of the time, the blessings He brings our way will be from the desire to bless someone else. It is His way and the desires of His heart for you will make your own heart sing.

     Acknowledge Him in all your ways today and He will direct your path. (see Proverbs 3) You may be surprised and delighted to discover the unseen dreams waiting for you. Read these two verses today as a prayer, believing God is doing His work in you.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
