Paint Mines, Calhan, Colorado
There is something about looking to sky that causes us to dream. Maybe it's because of all the Disney characters that we see in the clouds. Maybe it's because of the vastness of the universe, knowing that our eyes are limited in delving deep into the darkness.
At some point in our lives we've all laid on our backs and stared into the sky.
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." Joel 2:28 English Standard Version
Peter reminds us that Joel's prophecy was fulfilled at Pentecost when God breathed on his church the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who causes us to dream, not about our financial future, our new carpet, or our family vacation. It is the Spirit who gives us dreams about what God can do with our lives.
Are we willing to lay on our backs and stare into the sky trusting that God is leading us by his Spirit?
