JAN 19TH.
TEXT: Job 33:14-18, 23-24 King James Version (KJV).
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it
not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep
falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their
instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride
from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from
perishing by the sword.
Job 33:23-24King James Version
(KJV)
23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among
a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from
going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
If you do not want to end up in the
trap of the enemy, then you must be wise to seek divine counsel from the right
source. Sometimes, we may not be sensitive enough to accurately interpret our
dreams by ourselves. This is where wisdom demands that we share with somebody
who has a measure of grace more than we do. We must not allow spiritual
arrogance cause us to suffer unnecessary defeat or premature death. From our
text in Job 33:23-24, you fill find that God has blessed us with some persons
who He has given the divine insight to interpret dreams and visions. According
to this passage, such persons are very rear. They are one in a thousand. This
tells us that not everyone has been blessed to breathe life to your dreams and
destiny. By the time you finish talking with such individuals, suddenly your
eyes are opened and you are able to see clearly to know what to do. In the
kingdom of Babylon, Daniel was outstanding. In the land of Egypt, no one could
match Joseph in the interpretation of dreams and visions. These two were so
accurate in their interpretations that the kings of the various kingdoms that
came in contact with them could hardly do anything without their wisdom. For
anyone called to accomplish something significant in his time, whether in
politics or other positions of leadership, there is a Daniel or a Joseph not
far off. When such persons ignore them, they suffer, but when they take time to
listen to the counsel of God through them, things work out for their good. Who
is speaking over your life? What is your relationship with them? Are you in
touch with them? Don’t become too big to submit to divine authority, for the
grace God has released in the life of another man, except you acknowledge that
grace, you may end up frustrating your own destiny. Be wise.
