9Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
10He told his father and brothers, but his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother and brothers and I actually come and bow down to the ground before you?” 11And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
I had a dream part duex!
The reaction of Joseph’s brothers to the first dream should have gave Joseph the wisdom to not tell them about the second dream.
But we have to remember God is all knowing and is at work here. God uses our weaknesses to confound the wise. He knows the future and we cannot see the bigger picture which will soon unfold.
Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
Maybe God was directing all their steps and planted the dreams because He knew Joseph would tell his brothers and maybe God knew how the brothers would react by wanting to kill him?
If your son came to you and told you about these dreams, how would you react?
I would like to think I would say, that’s nice and discussed them with him.
Blessings, David
