Genesis 37-38; Psalm 7;Luke 15

Genesis 37:5
"Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more."


Hebrew word for "had a dream" means "to bind firmly" Joseph was bound to a dream that God had given him. A note in the Spirit Filled Bible says the dream had Joseph! It's because of a dream that Joseph would be hated, sold into slavery, and put into prison. Joseph refused to let injustice and life circumstance keep him from believing the dream God had for him. You will not find Joseph asking the question why is this happening to me? Later Joseph even acknowledges that all the evils done to him were part of God's plan. (Gen 45:7-8)When we face injustice or in a situation that appears to be out of line with the vision or dream God has for our lives. Let today's reading be a reminder that God's vision and dreams for us will be fulfilled as long as we don't waver in believing in them. God's word is filled with promises that are for you and will come to pass you can be assured of it. So maybe today your experiencing some type of injustice or you're in a place that you have given up on the dream or vision the Lord has for you. Just as the prodigal son came home to dwell with his father. Choose today to return to an unwavering faith believing the dream and plan God has for you. Seize The Day!

Believing with you,
