A man has a dream..two dreams actually. He dreams of an exalted place...a destiny of greatness. His family is unsupportive, to say the least. As a matter of fact, they try to kill him. He finds himself a slave to a powerful man. Blessed with grace, he is placed in a position of power, only to eventually be thrown in jail for an infraction of which he is innocent. Two years later, he is set free after the leader of a nation discovers he has special abilities. 13 years after his initial dreams of greatness, his destiny is realized--Joseph, youngest son of Israel (Jacob)-Genesis 37, 39-48
We all have a destiny that God has whispered, spoken, or yelled over our lives. It may be the awesome responsibility of being a parent, or perhaps traveling the world ministering to areas that have never heard the Gospel message, or maybe it's a stage in front of thousands sharing a testimony of redemption. Whatever the dream, know that God's timing is not your own. Some days will be high places that make you feel close to realizing the fulfillment of this dream. Some days are spent in prison, waiting for a promise to be kept.
It is in these YEARS of waiting, testing, building, breaking, growing, changing....that your faithfulness is being tested...
WAIT on the Lord....He will release your destiny when you are ready!!!!!
