The merger of dreams, desires and will by Gary Rose


Dreams are the stuff of imagination, but what if your wildest dreams came true? Really, anything at all! And then this "too good to be true" scenario was actually a dream! But, consider the opposite - what if all your worst fears came true in your dreams and those were also a dream? Gets confusing after awhile- doesn't it? 

What you want (or do not want) is sometimes beyond your control. In those instances, it is appropriate to look to God for direction. 

The Psalmist says...

Psalm 37 (WEB)

  1  Don’t fret because of evildoers,
neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
  2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
  3 Trust in Yahweh, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
  4 Also delight yourself in Yahweh,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. (emp. added GDR)
  5 Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
  6 he will make your righteousness go out as the light,
and your justice as the noon day sun.
  7 Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
  8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing.
  9 For evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.


Trust in God! He will work everything out in HIS own way and in HIS own time. If your heart seeks after the heart of God, then your desires will ultimately be HIS desires and like Jesus you will find yourself saying- Not my will, but thine!!!
