'I
delight to do Your will, O my God...' Psalm 40:8 NKJV
Are You Fulfilled? (3)
To keep your dream alive and find fulfilment in the
pursuit of it, you must allow yourself to keep dreaming. God gave Joseph two
dreams: in the first, other sheaves of wheat bowed down to his; in the second,
other stars bowed down to his. Note, he dreamed progressively higher, from
sheaves to stars. Most creative people intuitively understand the importance of
dreaming as a process for inspiration, motivation and fulfilment. George Lucas,
creator and producer of the Star Wars movies, says that one thing that kept him
and his colleagues going during the difficult times was this: 'We were always
dreaming of how it was going to be.' If you are not a naturally creative
person, then you have to learn how to keep dreaming. And if you can do it with
a sense of humor, that doesn't hurt. There's a story about a student riding a
bicycle on a college campus. On his t-shirt was the message: 'I am going to be
a doctor.' On the bike was a sign that also had a message: 'I am going to be a
Mercedes.' That's somebody who had learned to keep dreaming! Andrew Carnegie, a
Christian philanthropist during the early 1900s, said, 'If you want to be
happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires
your hopes.' In other words-keep your dream alive and it will keep you alive.
When David said, 'I delight to do Your will, O my God,' he simply meant you'll
find your highest fulfilment in doing what God put you on this earth to do.
