Over this past weekend, I read a great amount on visions and dreams. It seems that many characterize dreaming as that done only at night. Visions are given during the daylight hours.
I love the quote by Edgar Allan Poe in “Eleonora.” “Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
I have translated the real meaning of the quote to state, “Beware of those who dream by day, for they are the truly dangerous ones.”
Some may call it a vision, but I have asked God to allow me to sit in His presence and “dream by day.” When one truly understands the implications of this, it can never be confused with “day dreaming.”
I have come away from this weekend with a different twist on this idea. It all came down to a very significant thought – at least significant to me:
Do I live a life that God can trust with His dreams by day?
Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:1, “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.”
Here is the bottom line -- during the rest of this year, I am going to use this blog and our newsletter, OneGeneration to share the vision or my dreams by day.
The theme for the vision for the next 10 years for A Chosen Generation is
“20/20 Vision for His Vision for 2020”
If you do not receive OneGeneration, the newsletter of A Chosen Generation, you should go to our website at www.achosengeneration.org; and there is a link on the home page where you can sign up for the emails.
All I can tell you is to get ready. I am more excited about the next 10 years than I have been about any other time in my life.
Be seated and make sure that your seatbelt is tight across your lap, your seatback and tray table are in the upright and locked position. Please turn off all electronic devices and focus. We are ready for takeoff and I hope you are as well. This is going to be a great ride.
Get ready to dream by day.
