Alli's Dream

Dream from 2 nights ago (Friday May 20th):

A man kept repeating over and over to me "Ready yourself. Ready yourself." At one point he looked down and saw that he had no pants on and looked back up at me as if to say "see I'm not a good example. YOU get ready." And over and over he said "ready yourself." Then in the next part of the dream there was no story line - it was just a voice saying over and over to me in order to explain the "Ready yourself" command: "I'll put you in the service of kings. You'll serve before kings." There was no story line to this but in my spirit I understood it to be an explanation of why the Lord was telling me/us to ready ourselves. As we ready ourselves, we'll serve before kings. The more ready we are, the more the Lord can elevate us to be used for his purposes.

When I woke up I knew I should look up the phrase "serve before kings" and sure enough, here's the proverb!

Proverbs 22:29 "Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank."

I knew the Lord was saying "whatever I have given you to do, become an expert. Be skilled. Be ready!!!"
