Do not fear those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (EMV–Elizabeth’s Memory Version)
I have been having the weirdest dreams. (Andrea, skip the next paragraph…)
The last two have resulted in me feeling anxious, even afraid. The object of this fear is undefined, so I’d project it on to various things throughout the morning. Then last night, my dream involved a battle. A weird battle, in little Eau Claire, WI. I was defending my family against strange mystic people, and our shelter was a picnic table. He came over to fight us, but did not attempt to harm our being, but our beliefs. He cursed our God persistently and did not leave us alone. Though, in the dream, I was afraid of physical harm, the attacker never threatened that. He threatened to rob my soul.
When I awoke, after the fear subsided, I was impacted by the emphasis I place on the seen (physical) and the ignorance I have of the unseen (spiritual). I am often more impacted by my bank account info., crime rates, job security, health, and the like, and I miss the truth. I miss the point if I cannot see what God is doing, has done, and can do in all of it! God was telling me, “Elizabeth. These fears that you have so often and so easily are not worth your time and energy. If you want to be afraid of something, at least fear Someone deserving.”
That’s all for now. I will try not to mention dreams too much.
I love you and miss you all!
