As we start 2024, the dream which Dr. Dennis Mugimba shared with us on Sunday ought to teach us how we should make decisions this year. In his 2nd January 2024 dream, Dennis went to a supermarket to shop. At the entrance of the supermarket stood a man wearing a t-shirt with the word “QUALITY” emblazoned on it. This man was requesting to give assistance to every customer. He wanted to help them select items of good quality from the shelves. Sadly, almost all the customers either ignored the man, or rejected his assistance!
I believe that this dream has a two-fold application. Firstly, God will want us to seek His guidance concerning the aspirations we should pursue this year, and the ones we shouldn’t. Secondly, concerning the aspirations which God will approve, there will be times when we are presented with more than one option to choose from, and God will want us to seek Him about which option is really of good “quality”.
The Bible tells us that, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). There is really no reason why we should be found pursuing what is not on God’s heart for us in 2024. And there is also no reason why we should make the wrong choice when presented with options of those things God wants to do for us this year. By Dennis’ dream, God is reminding us not to lean on our own understanding, but to inquire of Him before making certain important decisions. If we do that, then He will direct our paths so as to enable us obtain the best that He has in store for us in 2024.
God bless you.
