(DISCLAIMER: This is about the actual Joseph...not the musical. Sorry)
Quick little reflection because this is too long for a tweet and I'm not trying to bomb anyone's feed...
Reading about Joseph in the Bible and he was always cool but he is FASCINATING because:
-He knew he had a special ability/gift in his hand (he had a gift/way with dreams)
-He didn't know what to do with it or where it would take him (LOTR anyone?? lol..kinda. a long shot)
-Because of said ability everyone in his family thought he was nuts and it drove them to hate them and eventually sell him as a slave (THAT escalated quickly)
and now Joseph, a dreamer, finds himself in a pit, quite literally. But fastforward a long hard journey full of mistakes, and learning, and some unfair accusations and he ends in up a ruler in a palace.
Which makes me think about our human condition. We might be like Joseph. Sometimes the only way to the palace is through a pit. If we know we have a gift in our hand...we have to just go with it sometimes and we have NO idea where it'll take us. But if we cling to God...who knows the future...we'll be fine even if we're blind to our purpose sometimes. Gotta keep learning to trust man...
Another observation: Joseph and his dreams began with him telling them to his family, and eventually to interpreting them in the king's palace. He started out saying telling his dreams but ended saying "tell me YOUR dreams". Elevate others. Success isn't always about me...there's always a greater purpose than just you to the gift you've been given.
That's all. Random.
Spread love, y'all.
