Saturday, December 7 – Joseph, the dreamer



Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.        –Genesis 37:5 (NIV2011)
But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.   –Matthew 1:20 (NRSV)
Joseph is a name steeped in rich stories.  Both the Joseph of Genesis and the Joseph who becomes Jesus’ human father were dreamers.  God used dreams to change the course of their lives.
What role do dreams play in your life?  Does God speak to you in dreams?
How does God choose to communicate with you?
