Above the Sun

"God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night..." Job 33:14-15 One of the first questions anyone asks when they start paying attention to their dreams is a simple, honest one: why doesn't God just say it plainly? If He wants to guide, warn, or reveal something, why not speak in clear sentences instead of rivers and doors, cities and storms, cows and ladders? The answer isn't found in mystery for mystery's sake. It's found in how God has always chosen to reach the human heart. God speaks in symbols because symbols reach the spirit, not just the intellect. A clear sentence can be argued with, deflected, filed away as merely an idea. An image that lodges itself in you while you're asleep — defenseless, undistracted, unable to talk yourself out of what you're seeing — works differently. It bypasses the resistance the waking mind puts up almost by reflex. Job names the real issue plainly: it was ne...

“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” — Psalm 27:13 There’s a phrase that’s carried me through some of the darkest valleys of my life—a simple but eternal truth: “God meant it for good.” I haven’t just read that line in the story of Joseph. I’ve lived it. When loved ones turned their backs. When the pit seemed deeper than the promise. When rejection echoed louder than affirmation. When the ones I loved became the ones who wounded me most... I had to choose to believe that God was still writing my story . Not just in Heaven. Not just someday. But now —here, in the land of the living. From the Pit to the Palace: A Journey I Know Well Joseph’s story in Genesis 37–50 is not a fairy tale. It’s a prophetic blueprint. And it’s personal. Joseph was rejected, misunderstood, stripped of what was rightfully his. But through it all, God never abandoned him. Instead, every betrayal became a stepping stone to destiny. Every delay was divine pre...

"And raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:6 Every mountain in Scripture carries weight. Moses received the law on Sinai. Elijah heard the whisper on Horeb, after the wind and the earthquake and the fire had all passed and hadn't held God at all. Jesus was transfigured on a mountain, glory breaking through in front of witnesses who didn't know what to do with what they were seeing. Mountains, in Scripture, are where people meet God face to face. And the instinct, reading those stories, is to think the mountain is somewhere you climb toward — a place you earn your way to, a summit reserved for the ones who've proven themselves ready. Ephesians 2:6 says something different, and it's worth sitting with slowly: raised us up... and seated us with him. Past tense. Already done. Not a future reward for present effort — a present reality, already true, whether or not it feels true this morning. You are not c...
