Jeweled Breadcrumbs #7 : trustworthiness of dreams
stillness steps aside
i wait wonder wander
round flurries and flutters of my bending mind
do i trust? do i really trust
do i mean it when i sing
David’s song of God’s trustworthiness?
Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I say to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.’
do i trust? do i really trust
Your desire is my desire?
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
I have a goodly heritage.
do i trust? do i really trust
dreams breeding my night?
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
do i trust? do i really trust
butterflies and rousing sunrise?
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;
my body also rests secure.
For you do not give me up to Sheol,
or let your faithful one see the Pit.
do i trust? do i really trust
absolute fullness of life meant for me?
You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures for evermore. (Psalm 16.1,2 6,7,9–11)
Breadcrumb
Last night I dreamed of a beautiful home, full of light and possibility in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. This morning I take a deep breath, stretch, make an offer to purchase it because I choose to trust, “I am meant to have life in all its fullness.” (John 10.10) (and I will also check out the HOA because mind and Spirit work together!)
