All this intrigue--Lord, what are You trying to tell me?
Perhaps the most important detail in these stories is the fact that God communicates through dreams. For a long time I have believed and have acted on the belief that God sometimes communicates with me through my dreams. Here in the scriptures I find that God communicates with Joseph through his dreams. God communicates with the cupbearer and the baker through their dreams. God even communicates with Pharaoh through his dreams.
Thank You, God, for reassuring me of your communication through humans' dreams.
The most intriguing detail in the story of Joseph's life is left out. What goes through Joseph's mind as he sees his brothers in Egypt? What thought processes does he go through? He seems to vacillate between the desire to torment them and the inclination to help them. I wonder what internal struggles and joys he experiences.
God, prevent us from toying with others affections, fears, hopes, and dreams!
