Acts 16:9
During the night Paul had a vision.
The 5th Week of Easter
Trusting in Dreams
In her book Left to Tell, Immaculee Ilibagiza recounts the gruesome details of the genocide in Rwanda and how she discovered God through her survival. Faith in him had her envisioning the future she thought he wanted for her. Trusting in his plan led to each dream coming true: achieving freedom after hiding for ninety-one days in a three by four-foot bathroom during the violence, earning a job at the United Nations after the war, getting her memoir published through a miraculous turn of events and making The New York Times Best Seller list.
In Acts 16:1-10, we see examples of how Paul and Timothy relied on visions to determine where they should and shouldn’t go. Their dream was to spread the Good News to people who would receive it. It was their trust in God to map out their destinations that led to that dream coming true.
Creator of Dreams, reveal to me what you envision for my life. Increase my trust in you to follow your lead.
