What Does God Say About Dreaming Big
Most people have a natural desire to dream large. We all have hopes, dreams, and objectives that we want to achieve. While some believe that large goals result from our creativity and hard work, others believe they result from a higher power, notably God.
The Bible is full of examples of people with big dreams and goals, such as Joseph, who aspired to be Egypt’s ruler, David, who desired to build the temple; and Esther, who aspired to save her people from destruction. These stories inspire us to dream large and believe God can make our dreams come true.
God tells us in Proverbs that our ideas and dreams are powerful and can influence our life. “Because as he thinks in his heart, so is he,” Proverbs 23:7 says. This verse underlines the importance of thinking positively and optimistically since they can shape our future.
God has created a longing within us to dream large. We must trust in God’s plan and connect our dreams with His will as we pursue our goals.
We must also believe in His ability to make our aspirations come true and be willing to work hard and endure to achieve our objectives. We can accomplish great things and glorify God in the process.
God Wants Us To Dream Big
One of the most common arguments for the idea that God wants us to dream big is the belief that we were created in his image. As Genesis 1:27 states, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Many people interpret this as meaning that we have been given a spark of divinity and that our potential is limitless, just like God’s. Therefore, when we dream big and achieve great things, we express our divine nature and fulfilling our purpose.
Another reason people believe that God wants us to dream big is the many examples in religious texts of people who did just that. For example, the Bible is filled with stories of individuals who accomplished great things with God’s help, such as Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt, David defeating Goliath, and Esther saving her people from destruction. These stories inspire and encourage us to dream big and trust that God will help us achieve our goals.
In conclusion, the Bible contains verses encouraging us to dream big and trust God’s plan. Whether pursuing our passions, reaching our goals, or stepping out of our comfort zones, we can find comfort and strength in the words of scripture.
As we strive to make our dreams a reality, let us remember to put our trust in God and seek His guidance along the way. We can overcome any obstacle with faith and perseverance and achieve great things for His glory.
May these Bible verses inspire and encourage us to dream big and pursue the life God has planned for us.
