In today’s first reading, the dreams of Joseph, – where he dreamt of the sun, moon and eleven stars bow to him – comes true. There are many promises and words given to us by God in tough times and good times. We have often treasured them dearly, trusted and stood by them most of the time.

But with time we have forgotten and sometimes gone back to our old ways. This dream was revealed to Joseph when he was young and then he was led into so many troubles and tribulations to the extent that he al- most lost his life. But in His heart He trusted God and was obedient to His ways. And we see the words of God fulfilled, where the brothers seek help from Joseph. Joseph did not follow God for the benefits he would receive one day but for the love he had for God. When we serve God with all our heart, we are able to manifest the power of God and bring down heaven to earth – we will be able to heal, help, cleanse and proclaim God’s love.

Prayer: Abba Father, help us to give as we have received. Let us remember Your promises and that Your word will not return to You until it is fulfilled – Amen.
