Bible Reading: Ezra 3-5; John 20
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. – John 15:7
When you receive the life of God you are actually given the liberty to dream and see your dreams come to pass. As you grow and mature in fellowship with God, you will come to discover that He literally gives you a blank check to fill because you will find your heart resonating with Him. While it is true that Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 that, “… strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” we must never forget that it is not a ‘narrow life’ in itself; but ‘the way’ that leads to this amazing and glorious life that is narrow. It is narrow and difficult because it leaves men with no option except Christ Jesus as the way! While many religions believe there are different ways to God, we know as believers that Jesus is the only way to God and many find it difficult to accept this simple truth.
There is nothing small about the life of a child of God because it is only in God that you can see all your dreams come to fulfillment. We live our lives in small ways when we don’t dream big and our text gives us a pathway to having big dreams and seeing the dream coming to pass.
The day you get born again, you are legally united with God, but you become permanently united with Him as you crave, practice and stay in His presence through prayer and the study/meditation of the Word. When you are vitally connected to God in fellowship through His Word, He gives you a blank check called, “… WHATEVER YOU WISH…” because your wish cannot be outside His will and purpose for your life. “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.” – Romans 8:5. Literally, God makes Himself vulnerable to your desires when you are united with Him in thought, purpose and will. The secret to accurately filling this blank check is to be in constant fellowship with God.
PRAYER: Father, teach me to know You better each passing day as I look into Your Word and remain in fellowship with You.
