My Devotional Notes: Genesis 35-37

They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.” Genesis 37:19-20

These chapters begin the story of Joseph’s troubles with his brothers and how it led to his journey from Egyptian servitude, to prison, then, remarkably, to second in command over all of Egypt. This tale begins with the dreams of Joseph and how his entire family discarded them.

Dreamers often face a similar fate. Those who are closest do not believe the dreams can ever come to reality. Others, however, are threatened by the possibility that the dreams may come true and will do anything to stop the dreamer.

If your dreams are from God, keep your eyes of Jesus no matter what anyone else says or does. There will be naysayers, maybe even opposition. But always follow God with complete obedience and loyalty.
