3 men stand out in my Bible, as men driven by a Dream. 

Joseph David Paul 
Dreamer Warrior Theologian 
Bones/ Promised land Temple to meet God God's Presence in Heaven 
Gen. 50:25. 1 Chron. 22:7. Phil. 1:21 & 23. 

5 Principles of Men Driven by a Dream. 

1) Your Origins cannot limit your Dream. 
Slavery in Egypt 
Youngest Brother in the sheepfold 
Fanatical religionist and Murderer 
2) Troubles do not negate Triumphs. 
Joseph was falsely accused 
David's life was sought 
Paul was shunned by the Church he came to lead. 
3) They found God's Plan for their life. 
God has a divine destiny for every life, 
Joseph became Prime Minister but not a King 
David became a King but not a Preacher 
Paul became a Preacher but not a Prime Minister. 

4) Each of them stayed the Course. 
They kept the faith and trusted God to the end. (1 Tim. 4:7. Paul) 
They endured hardships along the way. (1 Sam. 24:12. David) 
They knew that God's plan sometimes takes years to mature. (Gen. 50:20 Joseph) 

5) Success did not alter their Ambition. 
"Adversity tests Character, Success tests Integrity" - David Exeley. Author. 
Paul was a "this one thing I do" person 
David could not build the Temple, but he planned for it. (1 Chron. 22:5, 8.) 
Joseph could not enter the ‘Promised Land' but he sent his bones (Gen. 50:25.) 

What is your Dream? Do you have one? 
Is it worthwhile? Eternal? Is it a ‘God's Plan' dream?
