What’s Your Dream? (2)
June 10, 2010
‘...The butler and the baker of the king...had a dream...’ Genesis 40:5 NKJV
When you have a dream: (1) You must cultivate the companionship of other dreamers. By interpreting the dream of the butler, Joseph was introduced to Pharaoh, who also had a dream, one that changed Joseph’s life. So build relationships with people who also have a dream, who strengthen your faith and shape you into the right person. ‘…Iron sharpens iron…so a man sharpens…his friend.’ (Proverbs 27:17 NKJV) (2) You must be both forgetful and fruitful. Your willingness to forgive and forget sets you free from the past; your willingness to try something new opens the door to the future. ‘…Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.’ (Philippians 3:13 NKJV) ‘Forgetting’ and ‘reaching’ call for sequential action: forget, then reach! What you refuse to get over, you’ll live under. What you refuse to forget, you’ll drag like a ball and chain through life. ‘But I’ve tried to forget and I can’t.’ God will help you! ‘Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”‘ (Genesis 41:51-52 NKJV) Note the words ‘God has caused’. God can help you to get over it and move on. ‘Does that mean I won’t be able to recall the event?’ No, that’s amnesia. It means you won’t want to recall it. God will give you the ability to reframe it, glean wisdom, and become successful because of it.
