Living
the Dream
Genesis 37:1-11
David Feddes

Dreamers
I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, 
I will pour out my Spirit in those days. (Joel 2:28-29; see Acts 2:17-18)

Blessed as slave
The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered… When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did… Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. The Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph… 
So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. (39:2-6)

But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. So the warden put Joseph in charge … the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. (39:20-23)
