This Dreamer

on Feb 4, 2014

“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

 

How often the enemy says this of us and mocks us as “dreamers”. How often he scoffs at the dreams God has given us and determines to see us devoured. How often he casts us into pits of hopelessness and despair meant to extinguish passion. Thankfully, the story doesn’t end in the pit, but in the courts of the palace. God wastes nothing. Pits cannot deter His plans for us. Just when enemy feels victorious, God reveals that his purposes have being accomplished all along and the dark is trampled underfoot.  He gave us dreams and passions and He will see them come to pass. By his power, we will be made servant kings, ruling at His side.
