Thursday, March 18, 2021 The Dreamer Who Changed the World "The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day" (Proverbs 4:18 NLT). We live in a culture that's in search of real heroes. In fact, I'm not sure whether we know what a hero is anymore. We use the term very loosely. I think we live in a culture that has a lot of celebrities but very few heroes. As historian Daniel J. Boorstin pointed out, "Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people who make history. Time makes heroes but dissolves celebrities." That is certainly what we have before us in the life of Joseph. He was a true hero, and he changed his world. There are a lot of things we can learn from Joseph, including how to overcome adversity. In Joseph's story, we discover how we can overcome envy, face adversity, resist sexual temptation, have faith in the promises of God, and forgive those who have horribly wronged us. Joseph's life showed very little promise. As the 12th of 13 children, he was a bit on the pampered side and given to visions of grandeur. But God gave him dreams. In the beginning, his dreams got him into trouble. In the end, however, other people's dreams got him out of trouble.   CONTINUE READING →
