“And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept (Genesis 21:14-16)”
“Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard (Genesis 45:1-2).”
One of the most profound ability given to man by God is the ability to dream. In Joel 2:28, God says He will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh in the last days and enables us to have dreams. A dream is a mental picture of what is to be in the future. In Genesis 37, God showed Joseph two dreams in connection with what he has planned for him. Your dream is what separates you from the crowd and makes you a unique individual. It charts the course to which your life follows. A dream brings focus to your life and eliminate unnecessary distractions. Infact, everything you would ever be in life would first be released as a “dream seed” in your heart which would need to be cultivated and nurtured to its fulfilment. The journey of a thousand miles often begins in the mind.
