It is not enough to say, “I have a dream.” Such a statement is a good start, but gets us nowhere fast unless it is followed by action. A large part of achieving the things we want in life depends on establishing a clear goal (dream) first—then going after it with all our might.

Some people say that they have faith, which is enough. James made it very clear that “faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). We can dream about God’s Kingdom (and should), but if we do not follow up with humbly seeking the path to salvation, we are left with nothing. Dreams are not enough!
