S ~ Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character. Psalm 105:19
O ~ “Until the time.” It does not appear his character was tested only once.
If it was only once, it was once... for 17 years.
But... there would be a time to fulfill his dreams.
Fulfilled dreams take time.
Until then ~ testing of character. Proving of character. Strengthening of character.
A ~ I have unfulfilled dreams.
I have dreams that I have forgotten about, visions that have become merely dreams, and dreams I have simply given up on.
I wonder if the Lord has remembered those dreams.
I wonder which ones He is willing to fulfill.
I wonder what His timing is.
I wonder what my part is - how passionate, or intentional, I need to be in fulfilling dreams.
I wonder where are merely my dreams, birthed of self-centred motives, and which are dreams The Father has for a son.
In all the wondering, I don’t have to wonder about this: until dreams are fulfilled in God’s timing, I need to pass the character test - over, and over, and over.
P ~ Lord, I give my dreams to you - the ones I remember, and the ones that have vanished. I place my past, present and future in your hands - and I pray you would fulfill your dreams for my life, in your perfect time. Until then, please help me to be found faithful.
Have Thine own way Lord, Have Thine own way
Thou Are the Potter, I am the clay
Mold me and make me, after Thy will
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
