Dream Runs & Punches

Ever have a dream where you’re running but you just can’t seem to run fast enough?

You’re giving it everything you got, but you’re sluggish and feel like you’re moving in slow-motion.

Ever had a dream where you’re fighting but you just can’t seem to punch hard enough?

You try harder, but there’s just no power to your punch…

These dreams are frustrating because you know you have more potential and power than that.

It’s actually a good thing that you’re weak and slow in your dreams—otherwise, you’d be knocking-out your spouse UFC-style while you sleep. Instead, you just twitch and groan a little (and that’s much cuter).

In real life, we don’t want to be weak and slow. We don’t want to live with untapped potential and power.

The Apostle Paul said, “I do not run without a goal. I fight like a boxer who is hitting something—not just the air.” (1 Corinthians 9.26 NCV)

Another translation says, “I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.” (NLT)

I like that…

Purpose in every step.

I fight like a boxer who is hitting something.

I don’t want to go through life frustrated—weak and slow, living with untapped potential and power.

I don’t want dream runs and punches.

I want to get somewhere.

I want to do something.

I want a sense of renewed purpose, God’s purpose for my life—mission, focus, vision, and clarity.

I want to run with purpose in every step.
