The box. Take God out of it…

Today I had a little bit of a freak out. Why? I had a ridiculously frightening dream (last night or this morning). The dream involved my immediate family and felt so real that when I woke up I thought it really had happened. It took a minute to process that it wasn’t real. I got up and went about my weekend. Several hours later my mom, walks into my room and says, “Did you call me?” “No.” I answered. Then she said, “That’s so weird I heard, someone call ‘mom, mom'”. This freaked me out because my dream had that very scenario. While it seems my dream, really was just a dream it made me think about communication with God. My devotion these days has me going through the old testament. God often spoke to His people through dreams. He told people where to go, and what to do all through the modality of dreams. In the old testament people did not take dreams for granted. Why are we so different today? I genuinely believe it is a matter of belief. They believed in God. They believed He communicated with them. They may not have always listened, but they believed. We don’t always believe. We know God is good, believe He is great. But for the most part, we don’t believe He communicates, now as He did then. I think this belief system keeps us from hearing, our very communicative heavenly Father. I got confirmation, that my dream was just that…a dream. However, I believe that God is just as active in our lives now, as He was then. I believe He wants to communicate His will to us. I also believe He can do that using whatever method He deems the most effective. So I have a proposition which is this, let’s stop putting God in a box. In this relationship the only thing with limits is us. Live like you believe God doesn’t lie. Live like He is limitless.

“The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD“ (Jeremiah 23:28).

So what’s my plan of attack? Take God out of the box.
