My Sleepy Dream
I slowly began waking up from a deep sleep... Not completely woke up yet, I started dreaming...
In my dream I was in the kitchen declutterizing the counters. Sometimes we let papers, dishes, and random odds and ends pile up. I like a kitchen to look neat and orderly with everything in its place. There is a place for everything if we make a place for it. Sometimes it's hard to find a place for everything though:) I was looking around to find what else would need some straightening up, when I seen the canister set. The biggest one is usually sitting on the left side, then next would be the smaller one, and so on till the smallest is on the right side of the whole set. I kept looking at the canister set and realized the sizes weren't in the right place!.. That alarmed me because that is one thing that is never out of place or mixed around! For some reason everything else in the kitchen seems to find some way of getting out of place.. but the canister set?!?...I began pulling the ones that didn't belong and putting them back in their places. For some reason I couldn't get them in the right spot! I felt groggy and in my sleepy state of mind couldn't get the canister set straightened out like it was supposed to be! I kept looking at the progress I wasn't making and began getting frustrated. I wanted to get the canister set organized and what was wrong with me!?
I woke up from my dream, but it didn't come back to me until later in the day. I thought about how strange it was, but thought about it again and decided it wasn't actually that strange. After all, it was just a dream. I began thinking of how we are like that spiritually. When it comes time we want to tidy up our Christian lives and get things straightened up, if we are spiritually sleepy it will be hard for us to get the results we want. We have to be awake spiritually to even hear Him speak. We won't even know what to look at in our lives if we can't hear what He's telling us. We also have to be awake and aware of all the devils stumbling blocks and traps he has set. We can't let him loll us to sleep by all the comforts of our life style and the church's benefits. If I'm sleepy and my vision is blurred, spiritual things won't make sense to me. Even though the Christian life is simple we can make it seem so difficult. I want to stay awake and keep my eyes on Jesus. It's then that I find that He is the one that fights the battles for me. I can lean on Him and in faith, trust all into His hands.
Psalms 13:3-4
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
Ephesians 5:14
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
