“A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.” ‭‭Proverbs 28:19 NLT‬‬
 
Years back there was a popular television show called Fantasy Island.  On the show, they arranged events for people to live out things they had always hoped for or wanted to do. They could become movie stars, magicians, or Cinderella’s for the weekend. Reality was different than fantasy, and those that chased their fantasies rarely saw them turn out as they had hoped.

Fantasy is not to be confused with a goal, a dream, or a vision.

It is denying the reality of using what you have been given.

Fantasies may be entertaining, but they are not real. Rewards come to those who work hard, poverty comes to those who chase fantasies.
 
This week align your pursuits with the gifts that you have been given.
 
In His Hands,
