Joseph being 17 years old (Gen37:2) was dreamer and God gave him two amazing dreams. Joseph shared his dreams with his family but his family did not his enthusiasm for his dreams. "So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words"(Gen 37:8). Except his father Jacob "kept the matter in mind" (Gen.37:11) kind like Mary the mother of Jesus did when she found Jesus in the temple holding court with the priests (Luke 2:51).
This all created some real problems in his family life. It was so bad that it completely altered the course of his life.
Gen 37:28
28 Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt. NKJV
We must believe that God has us in his hands and He is working out every detail that concerns us.
Gen 50:19,20
19 Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
NKJV
If you are struggling with where you at today and life has not gone as planned TAKE COURAGE MY FRIEND THERE ARE GREATER FORCES AT WORK THAT ARE FOR YOU AND NOT AGAINST YOU.
He has a plan!
