Joseph the Dreamer

Joseph was a dreamer. Because he was such a dreamer and told his brothers about his dreams they were jealous and hated him.

Joseph was the son of Jacob. Jacob had Joseph in his old age along with brother Ben. Of course that made Jacob love the two of them much more than the others.

One day when all the brothers were out with the flocks Jacob sent Joseph to check on them. They saw him from afar coming and started plotting against him. You can read it yourself in Genesis 39. Most of the brothers wanted to kill him but the oldest one said no we won't take his life. So they threw him into a pit then they sat down and had a meal.

In the distance they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming. So they decided it was much better to sell him. So they pulled him from the pit and sold him. Then they took his tunic and killed a male goat so they could dip the the tunic in the blood so they would have a story to tell the dad.

So Joseph sold and on his way to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard bought him. Joseph was in charge of everything.

Now the Lord was with Joseph so he became a successful man even in his situation. The Lord caused all that he did to prosper. Wherever you are God can bless you.

Now here comes trouble. Potiphars wife wants him. Read it yourself in Genesis 39 but she framed him and Joseph got thrown in jail. Was God still with him. Of course. In jail Joseph found favor and was put in charge. He wasn't even supervise while in there and whatever he did the Lord prospered it.

He even interpreted some dreams while he was there. Guess what the dreams came true.

Pharaoh had a dream one night and guess what even Pharaoh's magicians couldn't figure out what the dream meant. Someone told Pharaoh about Joseph. Up from jail and at the side of Pharaoh he came. He interpreted the dream. Read it yourself in Genesis 41.

Joseph was set over Pharaoh's house to take charge of everything. Only Pharaoh was greater than Joseph.

Want the end of the story. Read Genesis 42. It was a happy reunion.

Do you have a dream? If you don't you should. The bible says God is no respecter of persons. What he did for Joseph He will do for you.

The dreams Joseph had came from God. God had a plan for Joseph.

Do you know how much God loves you? When you believe that love it is easy to believe that God will always take care of you.

Are you a beleiver? Just ask Jesus in your heart and you can be one.

The one thing that I am going to concentrate on in 2014 is God Loves Me!! When I do everything I set my hand to will prosper.

Happy blessed New Year!!
