It was 75 years ago that Walt Disney released his movie “Cinderella” to theaters. Everybody loved it! There was a song that still is sung and recorded today that Cinderella sings. It was titled “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes”. Cinderella has a tough life and is treated badly by her stepfamily. But she looks forward to and dreams of a new day and sure enough she meets the prince of the kingdom and eventually becomes a princess. It was a sweet movie but do dreams come true? Well, not often in the Disney way, but God uses dreams all throughout the Bible and through his dreams he speaks to the hearts and minds of those he chooses. But there is one promise that we see in the Book of Acts that reminds us that he will place dreams in the hearts of all those who love and follow him. In the last days, God declares that he will pour out his spirit on all people. And that sons and daughters will prophesy, and young men will see visions…and that your old men will dream dreams. God’s dreams are not Disney dreams, but they are dreams of something more wonderful and good and rich for us all. By the definition of this verse, we are in the last days, that God has promised. That means that each day, we are one day closer to Jesus’ return and the promise of a new heaven and a new earth. It sounds too good to be possible. Well, it isn’t possible with us, but we are guaranteed that all things are possible with God. God plants dreams of a great and wonderful future for all those who love him. And when you get weary and discouraged and even fearful, God will bring those dreams of a tomorrow that even Cinderella couldn’t match. The God of the Bible is the God who answers prayers and the God who puts his dreams into your heart. So, look forward to the good things that God has planned for you, your life and your eternal future. There is a great, big, beautiful tomorrow for all those who love and follow him. Enjoy this day but look eagerly to the future he has for you and all who love him. Here’s our Bible verse for today…
Acts 2:17 NLT ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
Remember I’m praying for you!
