Let Your Dreams Take Root

Let Your Dreams Take Root Today's Scripture: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1, NKJV. Today's Word: Are you expecting your dreams to come true? It´s important to look beyond present circumstances and believe for God´s best. Someone battling sickness may say, "I could never be healthy." Or, "This report from the doctor says too many things are wrong with me." What they don´t realize is their lack of faith is holding them back from receiving God´s best. They allow adversities to keep them from moving forward. And that´s just what the enemy wants, to keep your dreams from taking root and being fulfilled. Our God-given dreams are like seeds planted deep within our hearts. For those dreams to grow, they must take root. Having faith for your dream means you believe it on the inside before it takes place on the outside. In other words, you´ve got to see those dreams coming to pass no matter what´s going on around you. Get a vision on the inside of what God wants for you. He wants you to accomplish the plans He´s put in your heart. Look out through eyes of faith and see your dreams coming to pass. See yourself walking in abundance in every area of life! Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, I know what you´ve put on the inside of me. By faith I see the dreams you´ve given me coming to pass, no matter what my circumstances are. I am full of Your power and I´m ready to become everything you created me to be. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

God Is Aware, and He Cares   by Rick Warren “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” (Psalm 103:13 NIV) God is a caring, loving, compassionate father. He loves you more than you will ever understand. He loves you more than you can ever comprehend. God is love, and he made you to love you. He is loving toward you in everything that he does, and his compassion is his most outstanding quality. God is a caring father. The Bible says in Psalm 103:13, “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him” (NIV). He cares about everything in your life — compassionately. Most of the disciples were professional fishermen. One day when they were out fishing, Jesus got tired and curled up in one end of the boat and went to sleep. When a storm came up, it shouldn’t have bothered the disciples. As fishermen, they were used to storms. But this must have been a big one, because they got scared. The ship was rocking and rolling, and water was coming into the boat. They were frantic and woke up Jesus to ask him one of the most important questions in life: “Lord, don’t you care?” You and I ask that question of God all the time and in a thousand ways: “God, did you see that doctor’s report? Don’t you care? Do you see what a mess my marriage is in? Don’t you care? Do you see how little money we’ve got in the bank and all the bills we’ve got? Don’t you care? Do you see how my kids are struggling in school? Don’t you care? You know this fear that grips my mind that I can’t seem to get rid of. Don’t you care?” The answer is yes, God cares. In fact, he cares more than you care. He wants to help more than you want help. He knows what will help you more than you know what will help you. He is aware, and he cares. “Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). If you knew and felt how much your heavenly Father cares compassionately and constantly about you, you’d have to love him back. If you feel like God is a million miles away, it’s because you don’t understand the kind of caring Father he really is. That understanding is the first step to inner peace. Talk It Over What are the things in your life right now that are troubling you? Do you believe that God cares about your concerns? What does it mean to “cast” your anxiety on God?
