Episode 272 - Dreams Require Patience

When Joseph was seventeen, God gave him dreams that pointed toward his future. Yet God did not tell Joseph how long the journey would take—or how difficult it would become.Joseph saw the destination, but he could not see the pit, the slavery, the false accusation, or the prison that stood between him and the palace.Psalm 105 says, “Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.” While Joseph waited for God’s promise, God was preparing Joseph for its fulfillment.We often want God to accomplish His plans immediately. But God is never hurried, and His delays are not mistakes. While you are waiting for your circumstances to change, allow God to work in your heart.The waiting season is not wasted when God is using it to prepare you for what comes next.
