Genesis 37:19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

Joseph had gotten a dream from the Lord. He expected more from his life than others expected from their lives. They had settled in to live life like “any other man,” but Joseph seemed to think that God had something special for him in his future.

He talked about his dream. Joseph shared it, though, maybe not in the wisest ways. He still talked about what he believed God would do with him. Some of his dreams weren’t too clear, and perhaps the way he interpreted them was a little off in some ways.

After all, his mother didn’t bow down to him, except figuratively. But he dreamed of something great. He would do what it took to accomplish his dream as well. His dream gave him hope every day. When he was a slave, then falsely accused, and then a prisoner, he never had a poor attitude because he believed God would do something special in his life.

I hope that you, too, are dreaming. God wants to do something special with you. He wants to take you places that you could only dream about. He wants to see you take his dream, his vision of getting the gospel to the world, and put it into practice. Do you dream of glorifying His name in all the world? Do you dream of obeying Him to His maximum glory? Such a dream will cause you to do and be and go where no man has before.
