Today on Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

Has God put a dream in your heart?

A dream for a kind of marriage that you know would honor him?

A dream for kids that walk with God and turn out in a way that you say,

Oh, God, thank you.

A dream that has to do with your work and him using you to reach others for Christ.

But down deep in your soul, you say,

I don't know how to turn even my God-given dreams into reality. If that's the case, stay with us.

You can have a God-given vision, a burden so real you can feel it, and still watch it go nowhere.

Why? Well, because a vision without a plan is just a wish. Today on Living on the Edge,

Chip Ingram turns to Nehemiah Chapter 2 as he continues our series, You Were Made for More.

He'll show us how one ordinary man with a God-given burden turned four months of prayer into a blueprint,

and why the great movements of God aren't held

back by lack of resources, but by lack of vision and the faith to act on it.

Here's Chip Ingram, with today's message titled, Create a Strategic Plan.

Why is it that so many people sincerely desire to do so much and usually accomplish so little?

I mean, I'm just going to go out on the limb and think that many of us who've had some sincere desire to, you know, I think God might want us to address this issue in our marriage.

Or, you know, we need to address this with one of our kids.

Or, you know, there's this person at work and a holy ambition.

I think God wants me to do something here at work.

I'm new in a neighborhood, at least I am right now, and a sincere desire I have is to, you know,

invite the neighbors over and get to know them.
