And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Matthew 2:12 KJV

¶Dreams: not just our personal aspirational goals, but the kinds of sounds, images and feelings that continue as we sleep.

Some of the things discovered in dreams:
Magi were warned not to return home by way of Herod.
Albert Einstein was given the theory of relativity.
Paul McCartney was given the song "Yesterday".
Elias Howe was given the Singer sewing machine.
James Watson was given the double helical structure of DNA.
Abraham was granted an everlasting covenant with the god Yahweh.
A wandering soul encounters a Savior calling him to come and find rest in Him.

Dreams are where we live with our defenses down, where Mary's question "how can that be?" never arises. They are the stuff that engineers and scientists, prophets and poets surprise and amaze us with. They are the crystalline niduses upon which grow whole new systems of thought, new channels of opportunity. What do we do with the insights dreams provide? Could a dream show you the way home?

THE POWER TO FORGIVE

By
But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord . Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, "May the Lord see and avenge!" 2 Chronicles 24:21‭-‬22 ESV ¶Contrast Joash's response to that of Jesus, who, when He was reviled and crucified, asked God not to hold their sins against them. Which of the two of them had more of a right to seek vengeance? Which of the the two had more power to forgive? We can forgive when we know God is in control.

BREAD UNSPOILED

By
In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning dew lay around the camp. And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses, he said to them, "This is what the Lord has commanded: 'Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord ; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.'" Exodus 16:13‭-‬15‭, ‬22‭-‬23 ESV ¶This bread of heaven was sent from God to His people so that they might have their Sabbath rest, and they didn't even recognize it as foo...

SPIRITUAL FITNESS

By
Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness. Psalm 26:1‭-‬3 ESV ¶This fitness, this bold, joyous approach to God in worship, is given by God's Holy Spirit. It is given not according to the measure of our faith, but of His faithfulness.
