God’s Dream for You
“Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. So he said to them, ‘Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.’”
Genesis 37:5-7

Ponder This
God had given Joseph a dream. It was a God-given dream that one day the world rulers would bow at his feet and the world’s resources would be in his hand. God gave him that dream. And when Joseph told others the dream, he was not boasting or bragging because the dream was from God and for the benefit of other people. Like Joseph, we all need a dream—a God-given dream. This doesn’t mean something that we schemed up or dreamed up on our own.
This is about finding God’s will—God’s plan—for your life. Here’s what God said to His ancient people: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future” (NIV). God loves us. There is a divine destiny for every one of us, and everyone needs to catch that dream, to hear the voice of the Lord, and to say, “Lord, what is it that You have for my life?”
