God has spoken to every one of us at some time in our lives. He’s given us dreams, visions, and goals to accomplish for Him. I want to inspire you to get a new hold on what He’s called you to do. Pull those dreams down from the shelf, dust them off, and get moving!

“But I don’t see how it’s possible,” you may say. “I know God has spoken to me, but I can’t do anything.”

Remember Joseph? He dreamed that his brothers would one day bow down to him. Upset about that dream and jealous of his relationship with their father, Joseph’s brothers threw him into a pit. Then they sold him to a passing caravan bound for Egypt (see Gen. 37).

I’m sure Joseph thought, “God, what is happening? This is not the way I dreamed it!” Later, when he found himself working as a servant in Egypt and then tossed into prison, he could have said, “Wait a minute, Lord. You’re making a mistake!” However, even though it seemed his dream was shattered, Joseph continued to believe God. And years later, his dream came to pass just as God had given it. His brothers bowed before him (see Gen. 42:1–6).
