14For God does speak—now one way, now another—
though no one perceives it.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16he may speak in their ears
and terrify them with warnings,
17to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,
18to preserve them from the pit,
their lives from perishing by the sword. (Job 33)
Thoughts: God has spoken to people in dreams. He spoke to Jacob at Jacob's ladder at Penuel. He spoke to King Nebuchadnezzar in a dream. But dreams are not always clear. Nebuchadnezzar had to have an interpreter as did the Pharaoh when Joseph interpreted his dream. Some wonder if a dream is from God or just from the worries of life as scripture mentions. Psychologists often point out that worry and past concerns play in different kinds of dreams. Dreams are part of what theologians call "general revelation." But God speaks clearer through scripture and Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Help me, Lord, to hear your voice speaking to my life.
