Vision Speaks

As I was reading in Acts 18 today there was a single verse that jumped out @ me with multiple points of interest. Act 18:9 states, "One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision..."

Wow...the Lord spoke to Paul --
How...in a vision...

My prayer is that we would continue to spend time with the Lord in daily prayer and meditation...why...the Bible says that the sheep know the shepherds voice. Paul was in a place where he had spent time with shepherd & he spoke. He spoke in a vision. God speaks in so many ways, however I love it when God speaks through a vision. Not only do I believe God speaks through vision...I also believe that visions begin to speak.

As Heidi and I are in transition moving to Alaska to move into the role as the DYD's I have found that not only did God speak to us to move into this role...now that speaking continues. The voice that moved us...still moves us. Paul's vision from God was a voice of direction...but then the voice began & continue to speak to him.

Stay close to the pasture...if you spend time their as sheep...the shepherd will speak.

Just unedited thoughts to think about...
