TNIV Scripture for Saturday, November 21, 2009 [1 Peter 5:6-10] Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your fellow believers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:6-10 TNIV Bible

Woodrow Wilson once said, "We grow by dreams. All big [individuals] are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening. Some of us let those great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."
We all have our dreams. A man named Abram had his dream. Go to a new land, father a new people, and his name would be a blessing forever. His dream came from God. Was God faithful to His promise to Abram, or as we know him, Abraham? Today the great religions of the world--Judaism, Christianity--trace their roots to this dreamer who stepped out and put his dreams into reality. Why was he so successful? Because his dream was God's dream. What is God's dream for your life? Find that dream and act on it and you will find life!
Loving God, move me to fulfill the dreams you have given to me. Amen.
