Genesis 36 & 37, Matthew 13: 18-35, Psalm 14
Genesis 37: 19-20 (ESV)
“They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer. Come
now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. Then we will say that
a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his
dreams.”
In verses 19 and 20 from Genesis 37, Joseph’s brothers
wanted to cause harm to him because of his dreams. Since Joseph’s dreams were a
prophetic revelation from God, Joseph’s brothers were trying to defeat God’s
words and plans for all of their lives. But despite their evil act, God turned
what they did for the good to fulfill his plan. If God has a plan for our lives
nothing can defeat God’s plans. God will turn any act to ruin his plan to his
own advantage, so his prophetic words for our lives are fulfilled. So if we
receive a prophecy of God’s plan for us, we should have confidence that God’s plan
for us will always come to past no matter what anyone does or what we ourselves
do to prevent God’s plan from becoming fulfilled.
