Title: Dreaming with Jesus
Contents Today's text is what Solomon said while consecrating the temple. Building the temple was David's dream. The dream of building a temple was not something God asked for or given. In today's Bible, God says:
“None of the tribes of Israel have yet chosen a temple to worship me.
I have chosen David to rule over my people Israel” (verse 16).
Only David's desire to build the temple stemmed from his true love for God. David really wanted to build a temple to worship God. God also regarded David's dream as good. And God made a promise to make that dream come true. Today's text shows that David's dream is being fulfilled through his son Solomon. Dear youth, God wants you to dream the dream you have in your heart with you. I definitely believe it. Even before you were born, God had a wonderful dream for you. Today, we would like to share the grace of that dream with you.
1. God's dream is you.
“He is like a tree planted by the waters, with strong roots stretching out by the water.
Even on a hot day, there is nothing to be afraid of, and its leaves are always green.
Even if it rains, there is nothing to worry about, and it always bears fruit” (Jeremiah 17:8).
2. God makes our dreams come true.
How would you answer the question, 'Why do I exist in this world?' Many young people think about what they want to be and what they want to do in the future. And I'm thinking about what kind of dream I should have for my future. But, everyone, the key to the answer lies only with God. Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” The English word 'desire' is a combination of the prefix 'De' meaning 'of' and the word 'Sire' meaning 'father'. Therefore, the word wish means ‘from the Father’. This means that the more we believe in God's dream and form a close relationship with God, the more our dreams become dreams that God wants to come true.
What kind of dreams we have is affected by what we are intimate with. If you are close to greed for material things, then the person's dreams will be greedy. Many young people are addicted to computers. That is why there is such a thing as a 'computer prayer'. Here is an introduction to you.

In any case, if he is familiar with computer games, he will have a game-related dream, and if he is familiar with pornography, his heart's wish will be lewd. But if you are close to God, your dream will be a dream that captures the heart of God. like David. David never had a dream that had nothing to do with God. Rather, I had a dream because of God. Then God blessed him to his heart's content so that that dream could come true. Dear youth, I hope that you will be able to love Jesus, who gave his life for you. You will only dream as much as you love God and as much as you love Jesus. I hope that you, like David, can dream dreams that will impress God. Furthermore, I hope you can come up with amazing ideas to make that dream come true. And I pray and ask for it in Jesus name. Then God will make your dreams come true.
conclusion
May you love God with all your heart. And I hope you have a longing to know about the God who loved you so much. I hope that you can discover the fact that it is God's dream through Jesus. If you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross, you will have great dreams in him. And your life will be like the Word of God written, “according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Do not look for joy in the world, but rejoice in God. Then God will make your dreams come true with you.
