SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha
Burns -- Sept. 30, 2009:
In a dream I found myself in a cave and then in a
narrow passage climbing almost straight up. It
seemed that I was leading a group of people through
this passage. It was a really tight squeeze, and I
wondered if I would make it through the places where
the rock opening was only big enough for me to climb
through. I had to fight the fear of getting stuck, and
had to just kept pushing on. It seemed like a long
way, but I and those with me finally got to a place
where the cave opened into a large room with a level
floor. There were windows in the cave that overlooked
a harbor far below. I asked the Lord, and He said that
the cave and the upward journey represent those of us
who have encountered difficult circumstances and that
we must keep moving forward. We are about to reach
a place of safety and security far above the storms that
we've endured. Breakthrough is imminent!
Psalm 107:23-31 Those who go down to the sea
in ships, who do business on great waters, they see
the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.
For He commands and raises the stormy wind, which
lifts up the waves of the sea. They mount up to the
heavens, they go down again to the depths; their soul
melts because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and
stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, and He
brings them out of their distresses. He calms the
storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad
because they are quiet; so He guides them to their
desired haven. Oh, that men would give thanks to
the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful
works to the children of men!
