Summary
As we near the end of this year, today I want to create space to simply dream with God.
God has so many incredible plans for you next year. He has so many dreams in his heart for you. And today as we create space for him, my hope is that he shares those dreams with us, that we could partner with him in running after the abundant life he has for each of us.
May your heart be filled with the fruit of his incredible plans today.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 37:4, and today's worship is That's the Power by Hillsong Worship.
Help people connect with God in 2022
Your gift is doubled!
Millions of people today are searching for peace. They’re searching for rest. They’re searching for something to help them find healing.
That something is a person: God himself.

Thankfully, some generous friends have stepped forward with a $100,000 Matching Grant — which will DOUBLE your gift to help meet the $340,000 year-end goal and finish the year strong.
Reaching this goal in full couldn’t be more important, because every dollar given reaches one new First15 reader, listener, or viewer. And with the match, that means your $1 investment impacts two people.

| 0:32.0 | Welcome to the first of team podcast. Our verse for today today comes from Psalm 37 verse 4. |
| 0:52.4 | Scripture says, delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. |
| 1:01.7 | God longs for his children to dream. He longs for us to set aside time with him to wish and wonder about what life could be. I fear that many Christians |
| 1:13.7 | have lost the art of dreaming with God out of a misunderstanding of his heart. While God most |
| 1:21.1 | definitely has a will for our lives, he also longs for us to dream with him so that his desires become our own. |

| 2:13.7 | Our father longs for us to be so delighted in him that we would want what he wants. |
| 2:20.3 | He longs to fill us with right desires and then satisfy those desires in his perfect timing and in his perfect way. |
| 2:29.3 | He longs for us to trust him as our good shepherd to such a depth that we would joyfully follow him |
| 2:36.0 | wherever he leads. You see, Psalm 37-4 is more about delighting ourselves in God than getting |
| 2:43.9 | what we currently think we want most. It's more about the pursuit of him as our chief joy than anything we could receive from him. |
