Dreams and Plans
Filed Under Devotional
Martin Luther King gave a speech that is commonly referred to as his “I have a dream” speech. The problem with the onslaught of politicians that followed the speech and want to ride on its coattails is that they always say, “I have a plan to reach King’s dream!” There is a big difference between having a dream and having a plan. The Christian - and I do believe Dr. King was one - will pray, “I have a dream, Lord, that you have a plan.” You see, our plans mean nothing unless they fit into God’s plan. God has, to a degree, confirmed that King’s dream is in His plan. To the degree that God’s plan has come to fruition, no politician can take direct credit.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.
“Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
“If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. ” John 14:12-14
Now, do you ask for your plan? Or, a dream that fits God’s plan?
