Dreams …

“According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average person dreams four to six times per night. You might spend as much as 2 hours in dreamland over the course of a night’s sleep, reports the National Institutes of Health.”

(from this article recently read)

Jacob had a dream recorded for us in Genesis 28, in which the Lord declares Who He is to Jacob.

“I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants.” Genesis 28:13a, NASB)

In this dream, the Lord promises His presence, and a land. He promises a restoration.

But something occurred within Jacob as well in the midst of the dream. When he awoke, he knew God in a different way.

Once God showed up, Jacob found renewed faith to believe the Lord’s words. He was still in the same location but his viewpoint changed.

“Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” (Genesis 28:16, NASB)

Jacob lay down one night to go to sleep. Sleep ”“ a normal and needed and everyday occurrence. He woke up changed.

The Lord can enter every space, every moment in time. In the very place we are, in the happenings of today, He can show up, invading our lives with more of His Presence.

What occurs when we grab hold of who God is and His promises? I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE.
