do you limit God with your dreams

every once in awhile you'll see me wearing a shirt with this picture on it. it shows a person singing in front of a limitless crowd. no i don't have dreams of singing, but it was a good way to illustrate what i'm writing about here.

I've heard a few different people speak recently on dreaming big. it seems to me this is something God is really trying to get across to His kids(you and me.)
one of these speakers said, "everybody close your eyes, think of the biggest craziest thing God could ever do in your life or through you, now look at me, He's bigger than that."

He is bigger.
I've found this is really tough for us to wrap our minds around. and that's one of our biggest problems, our tendency is to not do something until we have our minds wrapped around something. we feel we need to understand the purpose of us doing something and then we decide if we want to do it.
and at the same time we say we are followers of Christ. have you ever been following someone to get somewhere because they know the way and you don't? do you know the purpose of every turn before you make the turn? no you don't, you just follow because you know if you stay behind them and turn where they turn, you will get where you're supposed to go.

do you trust God? are you following Him in your dreams? if God gives you a dream, that's the destination, that's where you're going, and all you have to do is follow Him, He will lead you and guide you the whole way.
But we don't do that, we get the dream and we instantly pull up our own version of maps.google.com, we think wow that's where i'm going, ok so i'll go this way, and then this way, and oh look this way is quicker, i'll go that way.
and at this point if we feel like it is manageable, we finally start to move forward, and we go the way we feel is best.
but if we don't feel like we are quite up to the challenge, we put it off, or shrink it till we feel like we can handle it.

in a message similar to what i'm talking about my pastor said God said this to him "every time I give you a idea you shrink it down so much it's hardly worth doing anymore"

do you limit God in your dreams?

let this challenge you, don't limit the dreams God has put in you, if it seems bigger than you remember all you have to do is follow God, it's as simple as turn left, turn right, go straight.

God has huge things for you, and all you have to do is follow.
