A Trembling Courage

I had a dream that I was being pursued by a group of thieves and murderers who wanted to kill me. I wanted to share it here because I’ve been working hard at my vocation in the past weeks and I just thought it was really cool.

 I was standing on sort of a hill and I could see the tops of their heads coming at me, the were wearing black masks so I could not see their faces. Instead of turning on my heel to run, I knew that I had a duty to stand there and deliver a speech of scripture to them. My voice was shaking tremulously and I had a very surreal moment where I couldn’t believe that it was me who was standing there. My thoughts were on the Apostle Paul who did the same thing, and who did much more than just read scripture, in much more dangerous and unknown territories.

Yeah for standing up for the Lord! Even though it was only a dream, perhaps it will come true. 🙂

 Psalm 25^[a] Of David.

¹ In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.

² I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
³ No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.
