Divine Dreams are Imperishable

Rom 11:29
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
NKJV

Rom 11:29
29 God's gifts and God's call are under full warranty — never canceled, never rescinded.
MES

God gave Joseph dreams and his dreams brought him trouble. (Genesis Chp. 37-42) Everybody wants God given dreams but it seems that God never shows you the whole story in the preview. We want action and adventure but this usually occurs as we overcome adversity. What do we do when life is dragging on and we’re running out of pop corn and soda? God will bring His plans to pass but He likes developing the story and getting as many characters involved as possible. We would like to skip 17 scenes and get right to the climax but, “you can’t skip a step because there’re people in every step.”(Pastor Mark Bintilff) If we put life on fast forward then think of all the people and ministry we will miss. People have a terrible habit of being in such a hurry to get to something better that they don’t enjoy the present. What’s the point of looking forward to the future if we’re going so fast that we never see it when it comes? If life is a blur and everybody around you seems to be like annoying obstacles on your way to the checkered flag it might time to go have a cup of coffee with your friends at the pit stop. God does not seem to be concerned with time at all but what He cares more about is people. God can make up time and cause things to come to pass in an instant so I’m wondering why He doesn’t speed things up but instead keeps telling us to, “slow down!” If you hate this and just wanna, “Go Fast!” then go rent a movie and watch it on fast forward that ought to save you some time. You might not like the chipmunk drama too much but at least you’ll, “save some time” and “git er done!” and get on to the next thing. Eventually………… God brought all Josephs dreams to pass and I believe He’ll do the same for us too. He’s the director and, “He’s telling the story!” So let Him do it and make sure you take time to enjoy it because today will be over before you know it and when you look back will you have really lived it or just kinda skimmed over it?
