"And being warned of God in a dream, that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
Matthew 2:12-13
This is talking about the wise men and Joseph all being instructed through dreams. There are many other accounts in scripture of God using this method of communication as well, which makes me wonder if we should be paying more attention to our dreams. They aren't all inspired, but perhaps it would be instructive to remember them a little more. Today, let's keep a journal near where we sleep so that we can record the ideas and possibly instructions that the Lord sends to us in dreams, and of course, let us pray for the wisdom to know what is inspired and what is not.
