Discover Your Destiny…Like
Joseph
“…when he saw the carts Joseph
had sent to carry him back the spirit of their father Jacob revived.” Genesis
45:27b
Today’s story is about Andrew Singleton. He had an I.Q. of only 55. But his parents dreamed for him. They dreamed that he could somehow enjoy life
as a teenager. Although he was enrolled
in special need centers for most of his life, when he was 19, his parents put
him in regular high school. He attended
special classes there and endured a tremendous amount of pressure while
adjusting to his new environment. His
parents desired that Andy would be accepted and have friends there. Eventually, Andy did so well that he was able
to participate in some mainstream classes.
On graduation day when Andrew’s name was called, his
parents watched in amazement as the unbelievable happened. All 192 of his classmates rose to their feet
and soon the entire crowd of spectators joined them. His classmates began to cheer for him and to
call out his name. It was a dream come
true.
When we get to heaven we will also celebrate a dream
come true. Until then, God will keep us
revived. Jacob was living with a spirit
of poverty until he saw the wagons. When
he saw the riches from Egypt from a son he had thought dead, he was revived.
Prayer Focus: Pray that each
and every one of us at Fredericksburg Wesleyan Church will develop ownership of
our God-given dream to build. Ask God to
revive the church leaders of this dream as they continue to work toward it –
our pastor, the staff, the church leaders, and the campaign team leaders. Ask God to revive you in an area of your life
that needs it.
