Dreams

Every boy once dreamed to be a soldier at some point of time... He was no exception...
perhaps he was not old enough, or not strong enough, or not smart enough, or not rough enough; whichever the case, when the king called for an army, he had to see his brothers off while he stayed at home...
Not that he didn't like it at home. He enjoyed playing on the green hills and rolling on the fields and swimming in the river. He always did those when he took his father's sheep out for grazing. But whenever he watched the clouds drift by, David would relive his dream of fighting mighty battles among the lines of Israel, the Lord's Own army!

Its amazing to see where one's dream will lead him... lets watch David...

He went to the battlefield to send a lunchbox for his brothers. That's when he heard someone who openly defied the troops of Israel, and their God.
Imagine how angry one would be, to have something one looked up to and dreamed about and admired for all his life suddenly mocked and derided and publicly scorned.
Well, David's not the kind who would be satisfied just playing sitting ducks!
He started to talk...

Well, I guess one of the first things one should do to reach one's dreams is to share it. Talk about it, show it to others that you want to do it.

Pretty soon,David caught the attention and got an opportunity. King Saul asked for a personal interview.
David gave a wonderful presentation and got the break he wanted.
Off to the field you go!

Well, I don't think I need to say that we should grab the opportunities that is given at hand and make the most of our dreams...

Well, he did it! He took the giant down and when others saw that his dream worked, they all jumped in and had a share...
Then again, SOME ONE had a bigger dream for him... a dream that had a "king" ring to it......

Well, I guess accomplishing dreams is a wonderful thing. But then, allowing God to accomplish His dream in us brings it to a whole new level.
His dreams for us is always bigger than we think.
For now I'm content to dream to be a soldier for Him, winning small victories in life...
who knows what God has in store for me??... what about you??
just be ready to run when king Saul comes after you!!
