The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 13:4<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulfilling dreams requires diligence. Instead of sitting around hoping things will happen, diligent people work towards making things happen. When God gives us a vision, we must take steps of faith to see it become reality. Sitting around and doing nothing doesn\u2019t accomplish anything, but developing a plan and then doing it will make dreams come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEffortless is a myth,\u201d Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, said during his commencement speech at Dartmouth University. When watching the accomplished athlete play matches, he made it look easy, and so he gained a reputation, his game effortless. But in reality, no one saw all the hard work and practice Roger put in outside the public eye, making his game look effortless. Without diligent effort, day in and day out, he wouldn\u2019t have won more than 80% of the 1526 matches he played. Roger\u2019s dream of becoming one of the best tennis players ever happened because of his diligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever dream God gives you, work at it. Don\u2019t expect things to happen without effort on your part. Creating a plan, taking one step at a time, and putting in the work will make your dreams come true. But if you do nothing, you will get nothing. You have a choice: become diligent in your efforts or become a sluggard. Whatever you put into it, you will get out of it. Work hard and see your dreams come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Diligence makes dreams come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lord, thank You for the dreams You give us and the action plan to make them come true. Help us develop diligence in our efforts as we strive to reach our goals. When we become discouraged, give us hope, letting us persevere, no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
