~~ Ecclesiastes 5:3 (AmplifiedBible) ~~ For a dream comes with much business and painful effort, and a fool’s voice with many words.
I’ve been known, all my life, to talk in
my sleep but usually it’s only a word or two.
Even then I’m told I mumble so it’s not always legible. Once I screamed so loud that scared it my
cousin, who was at my house for a sleep-over, half to death. Ever have one of those times when a dream
seems so real that you’re not sure if it’s reality or not? That happened to me last week.
Mommy, I had a Nightmare
I was having a lot of weird dreams for a
few nights. I don’t remember all the
details but some of it made me feel very scared. One night I woke up screaming again. Another night was the opposite, and I was
surprised when I woke up at what happened.
You Can Control Your Dreams
In my dream I told myself, that to get
out of the scary situation and to protect myself from the beast after me, I had
to protect myself with the Holy Spirit.
I thought to myself that my best option was to worship God. I began singing. I woke myself up singing “Amazing
Grace”.
Jesus will Protect You
Always
I think it’s great that even when I was
scared in my dreams I knew to worship God.
I think it goes to show that my instincts are growing on my journey
toward God. It also shows that Jesus
will protect us anywhere at any time; even in our dreams.
Like those bad dreams and I felt the
need to be closer to God, life is the same way. Once we’ve experienced the joy of knowing
Christ, to go back into worldly ways can be scary. To protect ourselves against the enemy, we
have to focus on Jesus.
Let’s Pray
~~ Dear God ~~ Thank You for protecting
me always. Thank You for the opportunity
to worship you, even in our dreams. In
Jesus name, AMEN.
