/*Joseph had a dream ... -- Genesis 37:5*/

Why does God give us dreams? To let us know that everything that doesn't 
make sense is headed someplace. Someplace good.

There was much about Joseph's life that didn't make sense. His brothers 
hated him. He lost his freedom. He lost his reputation. He lost his 
chance. He was forgotten, ignored, marginalized, underrated.

My life and my world often hasn't made sense either. If I could call all 
the shots, it would look very different. But God has given me a dream, 
just like He has given you a dream.

In that dream God tells us something about who we really are. Joseph was 
the ruler of the land. Everyone bowed before him. But nobody knew that 
when he was thrown into prison for a crime he didn't commit. Only God 
and Joseph knew. And Joseph was probably tempted to forget.

The bigger your dream, the more God needs to empty you from it, so He 
can step in and fill it. When God had removed all hope of Joseph ever 
becoming what his dream prescribed, then God stepped in and worked the 
miracle.

God has not forgotten the dream that He has given to you.

Be encouraged!
