你有没有做过一个引起你关注但又不明确其含义的梦呢？

根据圣经的记载，神曾在不同时间透过梦境来对人说话，而做梦的人往往要靠另一个人来解说梦的意思。即使是在今天，有时人们仍然发觉神会藉梦境来说话，而与人分享梦的内容能帮助他们看清楚神在沟通什么。

在我们今天的故事中，神吩咐基甸夜里下到米甸营里去。在那里基甸听见一个敌方的士兵讲述他所作的梦。他梦见一个大麦饼滚入米甸营中，将帐幕撞倒。另一个士兵来解梦，他说梦的意思是以色列民的神将会藉着基甸来毁灭米甸全军。基甸因这个梦受到激励，他于是返回营地，召集他的军队来信靠神——神便帮助他们打败了敌人。

神向我们证明祂能够用任何方式来作工，而祂往往会透过看来是没有力量或不可能的选择来彰显祂是何等的伟大。

你相信神会用似乎不可能的方式来向你显明祂的计划吗？你相信神能够用我们眼中看来没有力量的事物来彰显祂在我们生命中的能力吗？

Have you ever had a significant dream that you couldn't understand?

At different times throughout the history recorded in the Bible, God spoke to people through dreams, and it often took another person to interpret the meaning of a dream. Sometimes still today people find that God speaks through dreams, and sharing them with others can help them discern what God is saying.

In our story for today, God tells Gideon to go to the enemy camp at night, and he hears an enemy soldier describing a dream he has had. In the dream, a loaf of barley tumbles into the Midianite camp and collapses the tent of the Midianites. Another soldier interprets the dream, saying that this means the God of Israel will bring destruction on the Midianites through Gideon. And Gideon, encouraged by this dream, goes back to his camp and musters his army to trust in God's power—and God overcomes the enemy for them.

God demonstrates that he can work by any means, and often he uses what may seem to be a weak or unlikely option to show how powerful he is.

Do you believe that God can reveal his plans in unlikely ways, and that God can use what seems weak to us to reveal his power in our lives?
