Opening Scripture

Revelation 7:9–10 (ESV)“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’”

The finish line of our faith is not individual success or personal comfort — it’s God’s Big Dream: every tribe, every tongue, every nation gathered around the throne of Jesus. Cities like Dubai give us a preview of this dream, with people from 120+ nations worshiping together each week. Missionary Gracia Burnham once said of her husband, “Martin didn’t die in the Philippines. He died years earlier at the altar when he surrendered his life to Christ.” Belonging to God’s Dream means daily surrender to His purposes.

How often do I think about God’s Big Dream compared to my own small dreams?

What excites me most about the vision in Revelation 7?

Pray for your heart to be lifted from temporary dreams to God’s eternal dream. Ask Him to align your desires with His.
