Joseph’s brothers called him dreamer, because he told them his dreams.
But in reality, his dreams were real prophecies about his life.
His first dream:
« We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it. »(Genesis 37:7)
His second dream:
« This time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me. »(Genesis 37:9)
These dreams meant that one day his parents and brothers would bow down to him.
Indeed, although these dreams were real prophecies about him, Joseph did not know what had to happen before his dreams came true:
1. His brothers mistreated him.(Genesis 37:19-20)
2. They sold it to foreigners.(Genesis 37:28)
3. He had to become a slave.(Genesis 37:36)
4. He had to be put in prison.(Genesis 39:20)
And now, on leaving prison, Joseph became the man of his dreams!
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, « I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt. »(Genesis 41:41)
And when famine struck Canaan, Joseph’s ten brothers went down to Egypt to buy wheat. Now, it was Joseph who sold wheat to all the people of the land.
« So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. »(Genesis 42:6)
Although we may go through difficult situations, we must keep our trust in God and remain courageous because nothing can prevent or block God’s plans for us.
What God said about us will absolutely have to happen.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to keep trusting in You and to remain courageous while we wait for the realization of our dreams.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
