A “through the bible” devotion from Genesis 40 and 41.
I know I do a lot of dreaming, but I hardly ever remember them when I wake up. If I do, I’ll write them down, but that rarely happens.
Dreams are such an important part of Joseph’s life. When he was younger (Genesis 37) he used his dreams to antagonize his family. Later, his interpretation of dreams will get him out of prison and into a new position under the Pharaoh.
But it’s not all about Joseph. “Do not interpretations belong to God?” (Genesis 40) God used them to communicate important truths to other prisoners and eventual to Pharaoh.
When I do remember a dream, maybe I should ask God, “What was that all about?” I wonder if he’ll have any insights for me. People have written volumes about dream interpretation. I guess some of it makes sense. However, some stuff is way, way out there.
I know, I know, God speaks to us through his Son, the Word. I’m not waiting for a dream revelation. Again, I just want to know, “What’s that all about?”
Waite for it...
