Noah had a dream, a dream given to him by God, to be a deliverer to the world, a deliverer of souls that were perishing. But due to the shier length of time it took to build, and the doubt that must have entered his mind, with still no rain, I'm assuming that time after time after time, the Holy Spirit must have been saying to him...lay it down.
Abraham had a dream - to be a father. God gave Abraham a dream - to be the father of a great nation. But then God said to him...lay it down.
Jacob had a dream, to be blessed, but God was asking for a heart of surrender...lay it down.
Joseph had a dream, but for 13 years, God said...lay it down.
Moses had a dream, a God given dream, to lead a nation into the promised land, but God said...lay it down.
Gideon had a dream, a God given dream, to lead an army (a whole army) into battle, but God said...lay it down.
Perhaps Jehoshaphat had a dream, to be a leader free of attack, but God said...lay it down.
David had a dream, to build a temple for the Lord, but God said...lay it down.
Joseph would have had a dream, to be the natural father of his first born son, but God said to him...lay it down.
Mary and Martha had a dream, the see Lazarus saved from death, but God said...lay it down.
The disciples had a dream, that Jesus would rise as a victorious militant leader, but God said...lay it down.
Paul had a dream, to preach the gospel in certain places, but God said...lay it down.
I wonder if at times Jesus had a dream, to save the world without the cross...
Does 'i surrender' mean 'i give up'?
or
Does 'i surrender' mean 'i give over'?
I surrender.
