Has God Given You a Dream? - Love Worth Finding - November 1

November 1, 2023 – Has God Given You a Dream?
Genesis 37:5-7
Sermon: 2247 Practicing the Presence of God, Part 1

Pray Over

This Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. So he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
Genesis 37:5-7

Ponder This

Let God put a dream in your heart. I was about Joseph’s age when God called me into the ministry. I was in high school, and my pastor told me that God had a plan for everybody’s life. And I wanted to know God’s plan for my life. So, I said, “Lord, I don’t know what You want me to do, but whatever it is, I want You to show me Your will, and whatever it is, I want to do it.”

Now, God spoke to Joseph through a dream. He may speak to you some other way. But the point is this: God has a plan for your life. Would you like to know what God’s plan for your life is? Remember, Joseph just had a vision. He had a hint, but that’s all. God didn’t give him a road map. I think Joseph would have been perturbed had God told him about the pit, the prison, the accusations, and everything else. But he had a dream—something he aspired to. Romans 12:1-2 is such a wonderful verse for formulating our God-given dreams. It says to be transformed by the renewing of your mind so you may prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Do you want to know the will of God? There’s the formula: presentation plus transformation equals realization.

• What is a dream God has given you?
• When have you desired a road map of God’s will for you? How have you learned to trust God with the details of your life?

Practice This

Pray and then write down some of the dreams you have for the future. Consider how these might bring God glory.
