I like today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers:
Arise, let us go from here —John 14:31
Daydreaming about something in order to do it properly is right, but daydreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong. In this passage, after having said these wonderful things to His disciples, we might have expected our Lord to tell them to go away and meditate over them all. But Jesus never allowed idle daydreaming. When our purpose is to seek God and to discover His will for us, daydreaming is right and acceptable. But when our inclination is to spend time daydreaming over what we have already been told to do, it is unacceptable and God’s blessing is never on it. God will take the initiative against this kind of daydreaming by prodding us to action. His instructions to us will be along the lines of this: “Don’t sit or stand there, just go!”
If we are quietly waiting before God after He has said to us, “Come aside by yourselves . . .” then that is meditation before Him to seek His will (Mark 6:31). Beware, however, of giving in to mere daydreaming once God has spoken. Allow Him to be the source of all your dreams, joys, and delights, and be careful to go and obey what He has said. If you are in love with someone, you don’t sit and daydream about that person all the time— you go and do something for him. That is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Daydreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him
This is what James was speaking of when he said "...faith without works is dead" (James 2:26)! If we REALLY have faith, there WILL BE corresponding action! If we REALLY love God we will get up and get going in obedience to what the Word and the Holy Spirit instruct us to do! This is NOT just a good idea! This IS what Jesus expects of us! He told us to "go into all the world" (Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-18) and to be "doers of the Word and not hearers only" (James 1:22). So, dare to dream BIG, but then get up and DO the dream! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Running":Shalom in Him!
