Letting Go of a Dream | Jeff Kemp

When does a dream of yours prevent what is best in your life? Watch how an NFL quarterback called an audible, dropping one dream for a better path.

Game Plan:

“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” Ps. 139:23, NIV

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Prov 3:5-6, NIV

Time Out:

Are you attached to a dream that might be holding you back from God’s best for you? Perhaps you’re pursuing something that is taking too much out of you and taking too much from your marriage, family or relationship with God? Maybe that has happened in your past. God will help us to discern if a dream or passion of ours is not the best path for us. He invites us to trust Him and let Him guide us, rather than our own incomplete and flawed thinking.

A key measure of whether you are trusting God or yourself is whether you are transparent and openly share your motives and goals with mature, respected advisers.

Go Deep:

God invites us to seek understanding and direction from Him. Pray and invite God to examine your heart, motives and goals in life. Ask God if the dream and goals you are pursuing are of your own understanding and design? A key measure of whether you are trusting God or yourself is whether you are transparent and openly share your motives and goals with mature, respected advisers.
