Don't give up on the vision !

Searching the Scriptures

When the Midianite merchants passed by, they drew and brought Joseph up out of the cistern, and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. Genesis 37:28

Young Joseph had a vision from God that he hastened to tell his brothers who, out of spite and jealousy, gave free rein to their bad feelings towards him, going so far as to sell him as a slave to street vendors ! By giving him for twenty shekels of silver to these Ishmaelites who took him to Egypt, they thought they would never hear from him and his dreams again, but the reality turned out to be quite different since their trap led Joseph straight into the city. fulfillment of his vision !

Joseph then experienced the most difficult years of his existence, but, beyond suffering, injustice, and captivity, he remained firmly attached to the vision of the Lord his God until it became reality.

Our ability to differentiate between the visible world and the invisible world will determine our future. Let us always remember that God has a vision for our life and has made a path for us to enter it.

Many people will pass through Joseph's school ; maybe this is even your case today ? If you have received a vision, remain confident and, like Joseph, wait patiently and faithfully for God's time.

Listen to the voice of God

Let’s take the time to listen to what God means. Let God renew his vision for your life now.

Praying is easy. Talk to God as you would your closest friend. God loves you and he can hear everything. Here is an example prayer : "Lord, like Joseph, may I keep my eyes on what you have shown me. I trust in your faithfulness and believe that your word will be fulfilled."

Praise God

To praise God is to show him our gratitude. What are your subjects of recognition today ? Take a time to thank the Lord.

Act today

Now dig deeper into what you have received. What can you do to apply what God has told you ? Write down the concrete actions you can take.

Honor the Lord

Our route for the day comes to an end. Let us pray together to honor our God.

"Lord, I thank you for you are never late. Your divine timing is perfect. Yours be the reign, the power and the glory, amen !"
