God gave Joseph a couple of dreams in Gen. 37 when Joseph was at the young age of 17. The dreams basically revealed that Joseph would become ruler over his parents and his older brothers. Joseph was 30 years of age when he became ruler in Egypt under Pharaoh, 13 years from the day he received the dreams until their fulfillment. What happened between the dreams and their fulfillment is worth noting because Christians often see the glory of those blessed leaders in the kingdom of God not knowing the story behind their success. Joseph was thrown in a pit by his own brothers. Then they took him out of the pit only to be sold into slavery. He was lied on and accused of sexual harassment by Potiphar’s wife. Potiphar threw Joseph into prison. It was in prison where Joseph interpreted the dreams of a butler and a baker. The baker, when released from prison, heard that Pharaoh also dreamed a dream but was not privy to it’s interpretation. The baker spoke to Pharaoh of Joseph and God used Joseph to interpret the dream for Pharaoh and he gave him understanding on what to do to prepare Egypt for the years of plenty and the years of famine. Pharaoh then promoted Joseph second only to him. 13 years from the promise to it’s fulfillment. Many would have given up and thrown in the towel. Joseph’s faith was in his God though. Even though his own brothers wronged him Joseph understood that the hand of God was upon him to set him up for the establishing of the nation of Israel. Every great leader in the Bible had their battles and much opposition. Moses, Elijah, the Apostles, Jesus, etc., and we too should not think it strange for the fights we find ourselves in, especially if you’re being used mightily for His glory. We become stronger, better, and wiser. To God be the glory for the great things He have done.
