25-063 When God Speaks at Night: Dreams in the Bible

  • Summary

  • Throughout the Bible, God used dreams to communicate divine guidance, issue warnings, and reveal His plans. These dreams often came at pivotal moments, altering the course of history and shaping the lives of those who received them.

    Our springboard for today’s discussion is: Genesis 41:15-16 – "And Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.’ Joseph answered Pharaoh, ‘It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.’"

    Joseph, the son of Jacob, received prophetic dreams that foretold his future rise to power, yet his journey was marked by hardship before fulfillment. Later, Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dreams, providing wisdom that saved nations from famine. Daniel, another dream interpreter, received visions that revealed God’s plan for future kingdoms, demonstrating God’s sovereignty over history. Solomon received wisdom in a dream, an encounter that set him apart as one of the greatest rulers in Israel’s history. The apostle Paul was redirected in his missionary journey through a dream, leading him to preach the gospel in Macedonia.

    These examples remind us that God still speaks today, sometimes through dreams that offer direction, encouragement, or warning. While not every dream is divine, studying these biblical accounts helps us discern how God might use this method in our lives.

    Question of the Day: Have you ever had a dream that felt like more than just a dream? How did it impact your faith?

    Let’s Pray: Lord, open our hearts to recognize Your voice in every way You choose to speak, whether through Scripture, wise counsel, or even dreams. Give us wisdom to discern Your guidance and the courage to follow it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
