Today's Word with Maria Fulcher

Today’s Word with Maria Fulcher

“ ‘Here comes that dreamer!’ they said to each other”
(Genesis, 37:19, NIV)

In scripture, Joseph was a dreamer. His dreams were so real that he just had to tell others about them. Not everyone was as excited about Joseph’s dreams as he was, but that didn’t keep him from dreaming. It didn’t keep him from believing what was in his heart. When opposition came, when his family turned their back on him, when he was falsely accused and thrown into prison, he kept on dreaming. His life didn’t take the route he had expected, but God was working behind the scenes realigning his steps until those dreams in his heart became reality.

Today, I want to encourage you, no matter what route your life has taken, no matter who has turned their back on you, no matter what anyone else has said about you, those God-given dreams in your heart are still in the making. Your part is to keep believing, keep forgiving, keep following your heart, and stay obedient to His Word. As you stay in faith, just like Joseph, God will take you from the pit to the palace. He’ll order your steps and fulfill those dreams and desires He has placed within you!

Prayer for Today:

Dear Heavenly Father:

I pray for my friends today.  I pray they do not give up on their dreams and desires that You have placed within them.  I want to see their dreams realized and coming to fruition through you, Lord.  You have made a promise to us all that we KNOW you are going to keep.  Keep all my friends and family safe, Lord.  In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
