Dreams and Signs from God


Matthew 2:19 After Herod died an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. (Read Matthew 2)

I noticed in Matthew 2 the story after Jesus was born that there were many dreams and signs for Joseph (Jesus’ father) and the wise men to respond too. The wise men responded when they saw the “star” and they traveled to Jesus to worship him.  After being warned in a dream the wise men did not go back the way they came.  The evil King Herod had told them to report back to him when they found Jesus so he could kill him.  Joseph was warned by an angel in a dream to protect Jesus and move him and his mother to another town.  Then in another dream he was told Herod was dead and he could move again.

Do we see the signs God has given us? Do we respond to the dreams God has given us? The dreams or signs could be warnings or encouragement to move toward an opportunity from God or move away from a future harmful sin.

Please pray with me – Thank you Father for caring for us so intimately.  Help us to see the signs and respond to the dreams you have given us.  You only want the best for us.  Please help us to hear you, see you and respond in obedience.  Amen
