Genesis 41:17-21
41:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the banks of the river: 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favored; and they fed in a Meadow:
41:19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favored and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
41:20 And The lean and the ill favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
The nightmare experienced by the king Pharaoh was a nightmare which eventually could become a bad reality. However, because the king Pharaoh knows what will happen to his country so he can take preventive measures so that the nightmare did not happen. Through Joseph, the country finally freed from Egyptian great famine. Even all the countries around Egypt finally sought help from Egypt. This is a state of good and prosperous for the country and the people of Egypt.
now let us imagine, what was happen if the king Pharaoh ignored his nightmare? what was happen if the king did not trust Joseph who was a prisoner and an Israeli? No doubt we will be able to answer it very easily. Egypt will be crushed by the great famine and many people will die of hunger.
Sometimes God allows bad dreams occur in our lives. The nightmare that could be our bad experience, our fail work, households that began not in a harmony, and everything bad that ever happened to our lives. The nightmare is like giving a bad image about our future. And it is true!!!
Because if we do nothing and stay silent only, so the nightmare will be happens and our future will be not good !!!
indeed a nightmare we are experiencing is a dream that gives us the steps to improve our future in order to be successful. Because God wants us to be successful and not bankrupt.
Like Joseph, who was called by God to interpret the pharaoh's nightmare, so the Lord has called His servants here on earth to be our mean nightmares. Pastor, priest, our friends are one of trust and community are the servants of God who are able to give us advice for our bad dreams for not become reality in the future. And if we make suggestions of God's servants who must be in accordance with the Words of God then our future will be more brilliant.
God bless you

What a wonderful God we worship that he sends others into our lives to help us and guide us.
Thanks for this uplifting post!
I used to be plagued with nightmares and I know most were not of God, except one that came true years later. I heeded that one nightmare and took preventive measures to protect my children. I thank God for giving me the insight to do what needed to be done beforehand.
Thank you so much for this important post. God bless you!
