Reading: Acts 17 and Geneses 37-38
Scripture: Genesis 37:10 But when he told it to his father
and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this
dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed
come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”
Observation: In that culture the idea that parents and older
brothers showing honor to a younger brother was almost unheard of so having the
second youngest in the house saying that he had a dream where his brothers and
parents would bow down to him was ridiculous. But also there is Joseph’s
feeling like God is calling me to this greatness and I’m sharing this with my
family and no one thinks I can do it.
Application: I think this is another perspective thing, we
all have our talents and skills and God has called us all into his service. We may
see that we could be great or even know that we are awesome at something but no
one sees it or believes that you can do it. We need to trust in God’s
perspective and know that he is working these this for our good. As I get told
my job is going to end in a few days I though that this job was a step in the
right direction to a career and my be it was but he has another place for me.
Prayer: Lord I thank you for the great blessing you have for
me. I ask in this time of seeking that you help me to find the next step in
your plan and the direction you have for me using the gifts that I have. Lord
you are so wonderful providing all that we need.
