I had a dream that woke me with a start. I knew immediately that God was speaking to me - warning me. Within seconds I shook it off saying "No, that won't happen. I can handle this." I went back to sleep without giving it another thought.
Three days later my dream came true. I was so upset knowing that God spoke to me in a way that very few people can claim, yet I willfully chose to ignore God. It was awful. How could I ever forgive myself.
But the experience made me stronger. I don't ever want to ignore the voice of God again. When I know God is speaking I will not ignore because I don't ever want to go thru the shame and remorse I felt that first time.
God knew I would ignore Him. And He spoke to me anyway so He could use my ignorance and stupidity to make me a stronger Christian - one who will do as God says even when it's something I don't want to do.
God allows us freewill to make mistakes but because He knows the future He is able to use our rebellion for our good.
The Lord is good.
