"For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God."
Any verse with 'fear the Lord' should captivate our attentin. So I stop here at this verse in this chapter to address it. For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities - dreams and words of men and even, our ownselves, are only vanity; Only that which comes from God is of any value or weight. When you look at the 'multitude of dreams' in the Bible, they are numerous. Joseph dreamed dreams; Daniel interepted dreams; visions of the night all came through man by God's hand. Yet, there are scores of dreams that Satan has allowed to come to us to cause confusion. We all dream. It is healthy to dream. Yet the question must be is the dream mine, God's or Satan's? The dreams of God are for His purspose. I think they are as clear when we rely on the Spirit to speak that they are not of our own making. If there is confusion then we must assume Satan is working and we must wait upn the Lord to reveal more to us for surety. PEter dreamed while on the porch and was unsure what the dream meant. But then came the servants of Cornelius and all was revealed.
I belive our certainty is just like that. Don't respond until the Lord leads and guides. There are 'many words' said throughout one day. And can we not say that 90% or more are vain words. They neighter accomplish anything nor serve a purpose. And if they had not been spoken, nothing woudl cahnge in our world. But a Divine word, that is what changes everything. Preachers preach millions upon billions of words every Sunday, how much of that word changes things for God's glory? Can we not say that it would be better to speak a few words that accomplishes much for HIm than to speak volumes that serve no purpose.
