Dreams

 12/29/24

What do you dream about? If your dreams in the night should come true, what would that look like? I for one, wouldn’t want to live in the crazy, weird world of my dreams. I don’t think you’d want to be there, either. If dreams are as Freud believed, our unconscious selves manifesting, I must be a real psychological mess!

The Jewish people are people of dreams. Dreams were a major way God spoke to his people. Matthew tells us about Joseph’s dreams, without which he would have abandoned Mary

“But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.””

—Matthew 1:20-21 

I’ve only had a couple dreams in my entire life where I knew God was speaking. It was so clear to me that I can tell you nearly 20 years later the details of the dream and what I knew God to be telling me. Not every dream is a message from God, but those that are, are worth listening to. Have you ever had God speak to you in a dream? If so, what was he telling you? If not, don't be alarmed, but pay attention; your next dream may be God calling.
