Dreams: Understanding God’s Will

Reflect

If you had asked Joseph’s friends and family about his potential, they couldn’t have predicted what his future had in store. But God had big plans for Joseph. He chose to speak to Joseph in the form of dreams. When Joseph started to receive these dreams, he wasn’t quite sure what to make of them. God planted a vision of the future in Joseph’s heart. But this vision wouldn’t be fully realized for decades.

Age, maturity, family dysfunction, and future struggles were all standing between Joseph and his unrealized destiny. God’s first revelation to Joseph wasn’t a step-by-step guide on how to navigate life. Because of that, it would’ve been easy for Joseph to let drama and turmoil overshadow the voice of God. Do you identify with the beginning of Joseph’s story? Are there people, circumstances, or a unique calling spoken over you that you’re not quite sure what to make of?
