I Dreamed about…
In the Bible we read about some of the
many dreams people had, special visions which God sent them. Many of the people
who received these dreams were people in leadership positions. Often these
dreams troubled the minds of those receiving them, especially those who did not
know the God who sent them.
Along with these dreams, God would
send someone to tell the meaning of such dreams. Joseph interpreted the dreams
of Pharaoh and his servants; and Daniel interpreted the dreams of
Nebuchadnezzar.
With these dreams
God was providing warnings about things to come or promises of good to happen.
But what about our dreams, does God
still communicate through them? God certainly could still use dreams for his
good purpose. But everything we need to know from and about God is already
available to us in his recorded Word. Certainly, some dreams trouble our minds,
we wake up and can’t get back to sleep because of the dream. But do those
things come from God to perplex us?
I know one thing for sure. God is in
control of everything and there is nothing that can take us out of his hand. He
commands his angels to guard us and protect us. His promises surround us. His
love provides for us and calms our troubled minds. He reminds us that we have
nothing to fear because he is with us always and everywhere. He is going to
bring us safely to our eternal home to praise and thank him forever.
