A Shattered Dream

Text: Genesis 37:5
Intro: Have you ever experienced the heartbreak of a shattered dream? When our dreams are shattered it often leaves us devastated, confused and upset. Sometimes we might be tempted to think that God has forgotten us and our dreams. I wonder how Joseph felt. I wonder if he questioned the dreams God had already given him, (Gen. 37:5,9). Look at these verses… If they teach us anything, they teach us that life can seem incredibly unfair at times. They teach us that life doesn’t always go like we think it will. But, these verses also remind us, God is still in control! If God gave the dream to begin with, it will become a reality.
