What Does God say about…Having Dreams & Goals??
In your spiritual journey, we believe that God has a plan for our lives. But what about those that don’t believe in Christ? What does he have planned for them? What about Christians? Can we still have goals and dreams outside of what God already has in store for us?
Here we have earthly and Godly expectations. Earthly expectations, dreams, and goals are put in place when we’re dealing with non-believers. Earthly goals are basically what you would want for your life. They’re things that only you see yourself doing or things that someone else, besides God, might want for your life. For an example, a career and a dream can be viewed as earthly expectations. They’re things that you wouldn’t see yourself doing when you pass away. Most people only view passing away as a state of resting. Non-believers put a lot of effort into making sure they live out their lives on earth to the fullest. But for us who follow Christ, we know that there’s more to that than just resting. And there’s more to life than the things we do on earth.
Naturally people complicate things way more than they should. So, when we deal with uncertainty about which way to go in life, examine yourself and where you’re at in your life. Even if we have accepted God in our life, ask yourself, have you allowed God to take full control of your life? Have you fully trusted Him? It doesn’t take a lot to do so. Some of us Christians aren’t secure in God because there isn’t any trust. And if there’s no trust than there’s no faith. And if there isn’t any faith, then you don’t fully believe that there is a God. We also have to understand that not everyone is going to be where you’re at in your spiritual journey. So, it’s okay to take your time. We just have to embrace them with open arms, a good heart, and warmth from within. – Michelle Mims
