Genesis 37: 2, 5 Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers...5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. 6 So he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: 7 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.” 8 And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. (NKJV) Joseph was 17 years old and he had a dream! The scriptures go on to tell us that his brothers hated him because of his dreams, and eventually threw him into a pit. Our dreams might sometimes be so big that they look dangerous because they threaten the status quo. Not everybody will understand your dreams and not everybody wants your dream to come to pass. Despite this we must continue to dream and discover God’s call for our lives.
