A WORD in the night

Night before last.....while in a deep sleep a word came to me.

I do not remember the dream that brought the word to mind...if there was a dream....but while still asleep I told myself not to forget the word floating in my head. And even while drifting off to another dream scene...my mind kept reminding me to not forget this word. I will say that I have not had this type of thing happen before. Dreams- yes...floating words-no. This word although familiar as a word....was not one that I would ever use naturally and so I was unfamiliar with its definition.

I was reminded over and over in my sleep to look it up when I woke up.

Pretty cool! You and I both know that many times the feeling of a dream will linger when we wake....and yet the elements of the dream are like a distant fog. This was not. As soon as I got up the word began running through my mind over and over.

Excited to see- what surely must have been from the Lord- I pulled up the dictionary on line and put in the word. I have to admit that it was unfamiliar enough that I misspelled it. :) But thank heaven they knew what I was trying to spell and up popped the word in the night..........UBIQUITOUS. 

Maybe this definition is familiar to you...but just in case this word is not a normal part of your daily vocabulary- here is the definition listed on Dictionary.com.

"existing or being everywhere, esp. at the same time; omnipresent: 

 ubiquitous fog; ubiquitous little ants."

I'll have to say that I was pretty excited to see that....I knew it was a message from God.

Maybe it is some part of a puzzle that He will fill in at a later time....or maybe it is an answer in itself.  

You see at this time I am surround by several women who need to know that God is Ubiquitous. 

Here are a few scenarios so that you can understand what I mean.

~

A woman who has been told that her cancer has returned....and this time 

instead of two tumors....there are six or more. Hope is slim.

 *

 A woman who finds that she no longer loves her husband or even trusts him.

*

A woman who is staying with her husband because he provides well for her family...there is no love.

*

A woman with a new child who does not know how her family will be provided for as her husband returns to school.

*

And a woman raising two children while her husband is off doing military duty.

*

A woman walking with the Lord while her husband refuses to get his life right with God.

~

And there are a few more that I won't list. All of these women  have needs that can not met by me.

And although I would love to be the cure all....not that they are asking me to be.....I AM NOT-- even though I would love to touch each of these lives and bring healing.

BUT.......HE IS!

How I have learned in the past few years that...... He IS.

I think that maybe God is leading me to tie in these lives with the Psalm 23.

 So if I am hearing Him right.....I would love to come back and show how He IS through the verses found in this chapter.

Till then......The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

And in the meantime while you sleep....remember this....

 

14 For God does speak—now one way, now another—
       though man may not perceive it.

 ¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night,
       when deep sleep falls on men
       as they slumber in their beds, 

Job 33
