Proclamation:
“So Israel ’s
sons were among those who went to buy grain, for there was famine in the land of Canaan also. Now Joseph was governor of the land, the
person who sold grain to all its’ people.
So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their
faces to the ground.” Genesis 42:5-6
(NIV)
Explanation:
These are the words of God which were written by Moses under
the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.
As a seventeen year old young man, Joseph had a dream that his brothers
would bow down to him and they hated him for it. (Genesis 37:2-11) After his brothers sold him into slavery, The
Lord God was with him and Joseph rose up to become the governor of Egypt . (Genesis
41:39-41) Because of the famine in Canaan , his ten older brothers had come to him to buy
grain. Joseph recognized them but they
did not recognize him. (Genesis 42:8) Then
Joseph remembered his dreams. (Genesis 42:9)
Application:
Some dreams are visions, given to us by The Lord God, of
things yet to come. Just because
prosperity is in our future does not mean that we are ready for it when He shows
it to us. The Lord God has to take us
through some things in order to prepare us for what He has in store for
us. We may have to go through trials and
tribulations for us to trust Him so that He can move us to where He wants us to
be. We may not get all that we want, and
not all dreams are visions, but whatever God has in store for us we will receive.
