"Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions" (Joel 2:28).
Joseph, the youngest son of Jacob had a "dream" for which his brothers "hated him yet more" (Gen. 37:8).
They laughed at him and called him sarcastically a "dreamer" (Gen. 37:19).
We too sneer at dreamers as impractical people.
We laugh at their bizarre ideas.
Joseph had dreamt almost impossible things.
He had big thoughts and sky-high ambitions!
In history only people with high thoughts and bold imaginations grew successful.
The case of Joseph provides the best illustration.
Joseph, however, was not merely a day-dreamer.
He woke up from his dream and toiled for its accomploshment.
The result: the very brothers who called Joseph a dreamer, now tell, "He is a governor over all the land of Egypt" (Gen. 45:26).
Yes, the once dreamer is now the Goveernor!
Dream, dream, dream ... ...
