Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care….. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
-Matthew 10:29,31, NIV
This morning I awoke from an interesting dream. In this dream, I was with family in a large, informal gathering place. In the midst of the celebration, I picked up someone else’s car keys. (I had somehow gotten their without a vehicle and was trying to solve the problem of getting back home.)
The dream progresses to me going for a walk and finding the vehicle that matched those keys. It was a large, pickup truck that was clearly the small town’s response vehicle for fires and emergencies. I couldn’t take that vehicle. So, I take the keys back and give them to the proprietor who mentioned having misplaced them. Thankfully, he was not upset with me.
I felt the Lord telling me through this dream:
Give up the keys. I am not going to be upset with you. But you know, it is not your job to put out the fires, David. Let go.
I wonder if you feel like you have to put out fires that are not yours to put out?
We all need reminders that God is in control, I believe. We can trust Him and let Him do the “worrying.”
