The Lord uses the foolish things in the eyes of this world in order to confound those who claim to be wise by our earthly standards (1 Corinthians vs 27 – my paraphrase). When I tell people one of the many ways God speaks with people is through dreams, they laugh as it sounds old fashioned.
I remember in my youth when I didn't know the Lord. Bible reading and church going all sounded very foolish and a waste of my time (as if I really owned the time!). But in the fullness of time, here I am doing the very thing that I opposed and even more.
And as if this was not enough, the Lord is now showing me His kindness and goodness which He laid up for me before I was born and for all to see (Psalm 31 vs 19 – my paraphrase). He has enabled me to write a book based on my own dreams. He wants me to share the lessons He has taught me with the body of Christ and those who do not know Him so that together we will be built up to the same level of revelation (Eph 2 v 21 -22: my paraphrase).
God is magnificent; he can never be praised enough. There are no boundaries to his greatness.
Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts.
Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking; I compose songs on your wonders.
Your marvelous doings are headline news; I could write a book full of the details of your greatness.
The fame of your goodness spreads across the country; your righteousness is on everyone's lips. Psalm 145:3-7 [The Message]
Oh precious Lord, I could go on and on praising your Name and telling the world about Your goodness and mercy to me and those of my generation!
In today's bible reading based on Zechariah 1, we learn that Zechariah had a night "vision" (vs 8) in which the Lord showed him things He could not understand. I like what he says in in verse 9, "I asked, what are these, my Lord?"
In my book entitled, "God at Work in Our Dreams", one of the things you will learn is revelation of the meaning of our dreams comes when we take that humble posture of asking, "Lord you have shown me all these dreams, they don't make any sense, what do they mean?" Joseph the dreamer, Daniel and many others in the bible learnt many years before Jesus Christ came on earth that the Kingdom is revealed only to those who approach God like little children.
