Listen…be wise,
and keep your heart on the right path. Proverbs 23:19 NIV
Recently,
I had a dream about one of my biggest fears-snakes. In the past, I’ve had other re-occurring dreams
or what I would more appropriately call nightmares about snakes. This time was different. I was in a dense,
wooded area on a winding path riding a bicycle. I was aware of the snakes on
both sides of the beaten track, but as long as I stayed in the middle of the
trail I remained safe. It was a curvy pathway with many sharp turns and at each
bend, I would encounter another oversized worm wiggle my direction. Yet, not one
entered the narrow path and somehow I felt quite safe. In my previous snake
dreams, I found myself distressed from the impending danger of these creepy, slithering
serpents and would wake up exhausted. This time I felt refreshed and
reinvigorated.
Unsure
if the dream really had any meaning, I decided that I would document it anyway in
my journal. As I was writing, I glanced at the bottom of the page where various
Bible verses are embossed throughout the journal. The scripture for that day
read: Listen…be wise, and keep your heart
on the right path. Proverbs 23:19. I
just wonder if the snakes represent the evil we encounter on this earthly journey
and God was trying to remind me to be wise in my choices by keeping my heart
devoted to Him, which is clearly the right path.
