Dreaming the impossible dream is a fascinating subject for us all. Almost everyone we read about in Scripture had a dream. Joseph had a dream, Jesus had a dream, and the apostles had dreams.
We also read in Genesis 11 where the people had a dream to build a tower into heaven. To them it was a fantastic dream, but to God it wasn't. We realize from this story about the tower of Babel that the people had the ability to dream a big dream. They didn't lack in the size of their dream nor in the influence they had as a result of their dream. They had all the people involved in their dream.
Interestingly the word for tower is also a word for pride. Just maybe it was their pride that led to their problem!
When it comes to our dreams, it is most important to ask God first.....is this His dream or ours? When the dream is birthed in pride, confusion can follow. It is of utmost importance to dream His dreams and follow His ways.
