Stir Up Your Dreams
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you...”
(2 Timothy 1:6, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Do you need some freshness in your life today? It’s probably time to stir up what God has placed on the inside of you. It’s time to stir up those gifts, stir up those dreams, stir up those talents inside. Start stretching yourself. This doesn’t just mean making New Year’s resolutions; this means tapping into the destiny God has placed in your heart.

Scripture tells us that without vision, people perish. If you don’t have a dream, you’re not really living the way God intends; you’re merely existing. Maybe at one time you had a dream, but you went through some disappointments or setbacks. Things didn’t turn out the way you planned. But here’s a key: when one dream dies, dream another dream. Just because it didn’t work out the way you had it planned doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have another plan. You cannot allow one disappointment or even a series of disappointments to convince you that your dream is over. It’s time to dig your heels in and hold on to the promises in your heart. As you stir up those God-given dreams and desires, He’ll pour out His favor and blessings and fulfill every desire in your heart!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, I come humbly to You. I give You my past, my disappointments, my brokenness. I choose forgiveness and peace. Fill me with Your hope and expectation as You fulfill the dreams and desires that You have placed within me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Early in recovery, I was told `It isn`t what you see in your dream, but how you feel while dreaming it.`

I had a dream of my sister and her family last night. I felt very hurt and and sad. At the end of the dream, they were drinking and it is like they don`t have anything to do with me, because they drink and I don`t, so not sure if it is to keep from triggering me, guilt, shame, and don`t realize I have no problems with them drinking as long as they do it responsibly. I think of the Sunday School song, `Don`t hide it under a bushel.` If you have to hide it, it can`t be good.
