Bible Verse of The Day – 10-26-16

Genesis 37:10-11 So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” 11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

There will be times when people won’t understand what God is trying to show us or do for us.

When Joseph shared his dream with his family, he did not get a very good reaction from them. They reacted by rebuking and envying him, which is not what anyone wants to hear, see or go through.

Have we ever been excited about what God did or was doing for us, and in that moment of excitement we ran and shared it with others? But in return they did not react the way we thought they would. The very ones that we cared deeply about, those we thought would understand and be happy for us got angry, jealous and pulled away from us instead.

Don’t let the reactions of others discourage us, stop us or cause us to look differently at what God wants to do in our life. Don’t let them make us feel awful on the inside. Instead, be even more determined to go after God and His plan.

When God wants to do something in us, whether changing our hearts to be more kind, loving, or considerate, or whether He is opening doors for us to get another position in a company or leading us down a road to do things maybe a little different than the norm, it’s a GOOD thing. Don’t let anyone talk us out of it by the way they may make us feel through their reactions toward it. Let Him complete His good work in us!!

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
