Joseph - Dreaming BigExemplo

Our eyes have an amazing ability to see things very close-up and very far away. They adjust and help us understand the world around us. To see things more clearly, we use a lens. A lens is a piece of glass or other transparent material that is curved on one or both sides, usually in the shape of a circle. It is used to bend light and make objects seen through the lens look bigger or smaller than they really are.

Telescopes, binoculars, microscopes, cameras, and eyeglasses all have one or more lenses.

We have a lens in our eyes which changes to allow the eye to see objects at different distances. But sometimes they need a little help and that’s when other lenses become important, like the lenses in eyeglasses which help focus the light on the retinas in our eyes.

Looking at things through a microscope or a magnifying glass is a lot of fun, focusing on the things too small to see with our natural sight. It’s even more fun to use binoculars or a telescope to see things that are way out in the distance.

God gives us a purpose and calling for our lives. God gave Joseph dreams to help him see what might happen in the distance, in the future. Not every crazy dream we have is God telling us something, but God can speak to us in all kinds of ways. Joseph had big dreams that helped him see what would happen in the years to come.

God helped him see what he otherwise wouldn’t be able to see on his own. Maybe God has given you big dreams for what might happen in the future. God’s purpose for our lives is bigger and better than we can dream on our own.

God has a specific purpose and calling for each of our lives. He knows what we are capable of and what we need to do in order to fulfill our destiny. We may not always understand His plan, but we can trust that He has a good reason for everything He does. When we are obedient to God’s will, we can be assured that we are on the right path and fulfilling our purpose. With God we can dream big!
