Parent Connection October 24th

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.
