A dream could be a vision for the future or a delusion. Fantasy’s could be something you hope that happens like a bucket list or might be your imagination at work. Ultimately, God’s will is His preference for your life, blessings for obedience and crowns as eternal rewards.
The Bible talks about each of these 3 topics. Jeremiah 29:11 refers to plans God for Israel’s future of prosperity. Proverbs 28:19 talks about chasing fantasy’s. Romans 12:1-2 conforms that people can know God’s will for your life. However, its hard to discern at times if you are simply dreaming, living in a fantasy land or waiting on your next assignment from the Lord.
A year ago, I thought I would be a teacher until my youngest child graduates from high school. A few months ago I felt like I was either going to become a college golf coach or go back into youth ministry. Today, I have dreams to become a full time writer, I have fantasy’s of writing a movie each year for the next several years and I want to follow God’s will for my life, but uncertainty is clouding my way. As for now, all I can do is claim Proverbs 19:21, waiting on the Lord to direct my steps.
