Step away from working toward your dream for one hour, two, a day and be present in the moment. But He also has dreams for you to walk into today!įorward Challenge: Be awake today. Yes, God has dreams for you in the future. Humble yourself now! Don’t go through a pit and a prison to do it. Notice you might need a conversation with someone you love. Wake up! Wake up and be present in the moment. Don’t be so consumed with the dreams and the future that you neglect what’s right in front of you. I wasn’t awake to the “now.” I wasn’t paying attention to what God might doing right then in me, through me. And I admit, that for a time I became so focused on the gift that I neglected the present. I had to actually write and do the work to be published. Our God-given dreams require planning and preparation on our part. I do know this: Joseph had been more preoccupied with being the favorite and his future dreams than he was about the present. Maybe God would have gotten him to Egypt to fulfill his destiny and God-given dreams another way. I wonder if he’d regarded his brothers’ countenances and inquired if maybe things would have been different. Joseph was now hoping for the future, but living in the present. What’s wrong?” Not only does he see, but he speaks. By not having some kind of conversation with them or Jacob. But he didn’t think to spare them the pain by not wearing it. Maybe he saw the looks of sadness when he wore that coat the first time. He ignored the hateful glares, the snarled lips. So he asked them, the two officials of Pharaoh who had been thrown into jail with him, “What’s wrong? Why the long faces?”Īt seventeen, he was oblivious. When Joseph arrived in the morning, he noticed that they were feeling low. Verse 3-7 MSG: “After they had been in custody for a while, the king’s cupbearer and baker, while being held in the jail, both had a dream on the same night, each dream having its own meaning. In Genesis 40, the chief butler (cup bearer) and the chief baker are thrown into the prison for offending the Pharaoh. There are many glimpses of Joseph’s maturity and humbling process, but this one is one of my favorites. Not unless he’s been humbled and molded into the kind of man God would need to rule and lead. Because how can a rascal like Jospeh rule a nation humbly? He can’t. Joseph ends up a slave and then imprisoned and what we learn is that Joseph grows and matures over this period of time. I wish we had time to pick all this apart. They’ve murdered before…remember poor Dinah and the revenge on the entire town for the act of one. Not just give him the business, but murder him.
While Joseph was in the distance, the brothers plotted to kill Joseph. Rub it in their faces that you’re loved most. Because that’s what you do when you’re about to approach your own brothers. Why wasn’t he out there helping in the first place? Oh yeah, he’s spoiled. But twice! Nice work, Jo.Īnd one day, Daddy sends Joseph out to check on his brothers. Yeah, that’s what you do when you’re hated. Instead he chose to tell them his dream about how they’d bow to him. That’s just someone unhappy! Not hatred.īut Jospeh didn’t care. I can see it on their faces and feel it when I enter a room.
Now, I don’t know about you but when someone is unhappy with me, I know it. These brothers couldn’t even speak peaceably to him. Didn’t seem to mind the fact that it hurt his brothers deeply or that being the fave caused hatred in their hearts. He made this amazing coat of prestige and honor and Joseph wore it proudly. He was daddy’s fave and Daddy made no bones about it. When his brothers realized that their father loved him more than them, they grew to hate him-they wouldn’t even speak to him. And he made him an elaborately embroidered coat. Genesis 37:3-4 MSG: Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons because he was the child of his old age. He’s great to study for character growth (writers, did you hear that?). One of my favorite people in the Bible is Joseph. Hey, if you weren’t, I said most not all.
