Numbers 32: "They went as far as the valley of Eshcol."
I think that is where many of our dreams die. It is the place where we lose heart or lose sight or lose focus. That is as far as the spies got. The promise was about to be fulfilled. It was at their fingertips, but instead they let it slip through their hands.
The valley of Eshcol is the place where we stop trying or stop believing. It is the place where we turn back. But here is what God put in my heart: turning your back on a God-given dream is turning your back on God himself. Obviously, the operative phrase is "God-given." You need to keep going after that dream. Why? Not so you can accomplishment something. Please! You need to go after that God-sized dream because it is the thing that will keep you on your knees living in raw dependence upon God. That is how we grow. And that is how we glorify God.
Psalm 37 says, "Wait passionately for God."
Most of us wait passively. The Psalmist says wait passionately. How do we wait passionately? One word: prayer.
Don't lose heart. Don't lose sight. Don't lose focus.
