Dreaming as a Kingdom citizen is important. This is not a futile humanistic exercise. It is an opportunity to use our God-given missiological-imaginations as we prayerfully consider God’s Word, God’s world, and our responsibilities as Kingdom citizens.
However, if you are always dreaming and never developing and executing strategy, then you are a perpetual dreamer. Theory is your only friend, and you never move forward. Wise stewards dream much and often, but do not stop there. They move, by God’s will.
“By God’s will I may now at least succeed in coming to you. For I long to see you” (Rom 1:10-11, ESV).
“So that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company” (Rom 15:32, ESV).
“I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia. . . .I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits (1 Cor 16:5,7, ESV).
Dream of Spain and Corinth, but don’t just dream. Move for the sake of Christ and His Church.
If you are a perpetual dreamer, then one day you will wake-up to the troubling reality that you have moved nowhere.
