How Do We Plan So Our Dreams Come True

Image
Our lives are a field of dreams.  When we were young, we had ambitions.  As a student we dreamed to excel.  As a worker we dare to climb the next position.  As a family person, we pray that our children will do better than us.  We dream, we secure but many times, we long for more.  But what do you do when your time is short and your breath seems come to an end?  Keep dreaming.  Why?  Because we serve a transcendent God and our dreams can live on.  King David realized that his time is short but he desired to build a temple for the Lord.  Here are few things we can learn from him in 2 Chronicles 22.
