DEVOTION: "And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more."(Genesis 37:5)

 "And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more."(Genesis 37:5)

"And Joseph Dreamed"  Joseph's Dream cost him everything he had,  but it also gave him everything he ever wanted.  The night he had his dream he was a long way from the palace in Egypt. At that time he had no idea that he would wind up in Egypt in a palace, second only to Pharaoh Himself!!  His brothers hated him for his dream, sold him into slavery and lied to the family about what happened to him. He walked into Egypt in chains with bleeding ankles, tears running down his face, a broken heart and a long way from home. He was probably thinking about his baby brother, Benjamin, and who would watch after him, all the while wondering why his other brothers hated him so much. Do you think they hated him because they thought he was crazy or could they be concerned that his dreams WOULD come true!!! Unless you want to be lonely, don't dream big because most people  are filled with a negative view of the future rather than a big dream. Big Dreams could cause you to be hurt by brothers, attacked by those that can't control you and locked away to silence your dreams. Your dreams will find you wherever you go, they found Joseph in a prison in Egypt, they are inescapable. The Butler and the Baker had a dream, so did Pharaoh but was unable to find anyone who could give him the meaning of his dream. The Butler told Pharaoh that he knew a boy that could interpret dreams but he was a Hebrew and in prison. Pharaoh sent for Joseph and didn't really care who or what he was as long as he could interpret the Dream!! Instead of crying tears, bleeding from his chains and dreaming, he was exalted to the throne of Egypt. Destiny is a divine moving of the Almighty God to bring to pass all your Dreams, Visions and Hopes. Please don't allow the pits, prisons and pains of life to keep you from dreaming because they will only come true if you keep dreaming. Don't let anyone steal your dreams!!
