The success in Joseph’s life journey to reach the final
destiny of a very high position on this earth as the
second in Egypt next only to Pharaoh, started not with
his own efforts but by God’s blessings on him. It all
started with his dreams and the interpretations thereof.
Dreams in ancient days were taken very seriously and
the dreams Joseph dreamed were easily discernable that
provoked every one in his family, especially his
brothers to hate him.
The first dream he saw was
recorded in Genesis 37:7 “For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also
stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round
about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.” Here, Joseph
saw in his dream that when he and his brothers were in
the field, his sheaf arose and stood upright while the
sheaves of his brothers made obeisance to his sheaf. A
quantity of stalks bound together is called, ‘sheaf’. This
dream came true as we read in Genesis 42:6; 43:26;
44:14, 19.
This is one indication how every knee will
bow to Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:10 reads, “That
at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth” and in Colossians 1:18 “And he is the head of the
body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead; that in all things he might have the
preeminence”. Joseph’s life and his sufferings remind
us the sufferings of Lord Jesus Christ for the sake of
every one. Jesus is Lord and every knee will bow to
him. When Joseph’s brothers heard this dream from
him they inferred the meaning of the dream and called
him ‘dreamer’ and conspired to harm him.

Joseph’s life and the relevance of his life to present day Christian life attracted me to write a few thoughts on how God’s providence works in
everybody’s life from the time he is in the womb of his/her mother. God said, in I Peter 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:” and
speaking about himself, the prophecy in Psalms 22:9, which reads as, “But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was
upon my mother’s breasts” shows us the confidence our Savior Lord Jesus Christ, in the Father in heaven. Great confidence is shown by Psalmist
also, who said, in Psalms 71:6 that “By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise
shall be continually of thee”. Our creator is Lord Jesus Christ, in whom we trust and depend for all the good in our lives.

Today is the day of salvation. Please confess your sins to Jesus Christ and be
blessed. Receive Salvation and eternal life. Jesus is the Way, the truth, and
the life. Holy Bible says God created man, in his own image and named him as
Adam and God put him in a very comfortable place called 'the garden of Eden' and
gave him a wife, whom Adam named as Eve. God gave Adam and Eve all the freedom
except for eating the forbidden fruit, which Eve and Adam ate and brought sin
into this world. In order to redeem mankind from their sin God sent his one and
only son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sake, was buried, rose from the dead
and ascended in to heaven.
