GOD is really good He uses various ways to speak to us and give His
message to His people. Usually, God speaks to us through His Word in the Bible
and sometimes He taps other people to bring to us what He wants us to know. In
other times He even utilizes dreams to make us aware that He has something
important to tell us.
Just while ago I was awakened by a dream. In my dream I was in a place
where I was taking a course/ schooling along with my friends/ classmates. As we
were taking our break for the next subject, I noticed that it’s already time
for us to proceed and attend the class but to my surprise, some of my
classmates, in fact majority of them, did not even lift a finger to show that
they will go and attend the next class.
Five minutes have passed and they are still busy doing their own thing
seemingly unmindful that we were on schooling. Another five minutes have passed,
and this time I decided to go ahead of them and attend the class, anyway, even
without them.
As I was walking towards the place, I was suddenly awakened realizing
that I was only dreaming. To tell you frankly, I was a little bit upset over
this, shall I say, cut-off dream. Who would ever want such, anyway. I think,
not even you.
As we were taking our breakfast with my kids, Johanna & Caleb, I
told them about this dream and jokingly related to them that maybe there is a
moral story here. And truly indeed, there was and it was not only a story with
a moral sense but in fact ... the LORD seems to be speaking here.
It’s good that I could still chew my food while contemplating about
what the LORD seems to be saying here. And thankfully, I got the message as I
excitingly told them to my kids. This is the message:
Sometimes, God will bid us to do something that doesn’t make sense with
our friends, peers, churchmates, and even loved ones. These are things that
seem to be awkward to them at the present. However, if we have the conviction
and the confirmation that the thing is really from God, we shouldn’t allow
these well-meaning people to deter us from obeying Him even if we are the only
one to believe and do it. Oftentimes, the LORD is in the minority and not in
the majority... I am just reminded of what the apostle Paul has said to the
Galatians:
“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?
Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I
would not be a servant of Christ.” – Gal. 1: 10 (NIV)
Have a blessed day!
