Behold the Dreamer!

Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. -Genesis 37:5

Dreams have had a special meaning in all of our lives at one time or another. Dreams can be the expression of our subconscious, or dreams can be given by God. We see in the story of Joseph and his brothers what can happen when we dream. We live in a society that can kill dreamers and their dreams. Especially prophetic dreamers, when the dream of is of peace, justice and freedom of spirit and thought. Joseph threatened the status quo when he spoke of his dreams to others. He was threatened by envy, and jealousy due to his lofty dreams.

What are your dreams? Do you have the courage to share them? Do you believe God will fulfill them? Read and meditate on Genesis, chapter 37.

“Dear Lord, help me to be open to the dreams you place in my heart. Give me the courage to believe you and your Word and help me to trust you in all situations. Amen” – Dumas A. Harshaw, Jr.
