TODAY - From Pastor Marty & Jessica McGrail

In the Old Testament [1 Samuel 17] there is a story of a young man named David who had a very big dream for his life. David had a desire to make a difference, but as a young man he spent many years as a shepherd, caring for his father's sheep. I can only imagine the times, like you and I, that David was tempted to think that God had forgotten all about him. He must have thought, God, what in the heck am I doing here? There's no future in this place. When are You going to change this situation? But David, unlike most of us, understood God's timing. He knew that if he would be faithful in obscurity that God would promote him at the right time. He knew that God would bring his dreams to pass in due season.

As the story goes on, God brought David out of those fields one day; he defeated the giant Goliath, and eventually God made him the king of Israel.

If you are like most people, you may have a big dream in your heart also - a dream to have a better marriage, to own your own business or meet the right person. Maybe your dream is to help hurting people or to reconcile an old relationship - but like David, you may not see any human way that your dream can happen.

I have good new for you today! God isn't limited by your understanding or by natural, human ways of doing things. If you will learn to trust God and keep a good attitude, staying faithful right where you are and not getting in a hurry and trying to force things to happen, God will promote you at the right time, in your due season. He will bring your dreams to pass. Friend, learn to Rest in Him and then watch your dreams come true!
