"Finding Your Dream"is a three-month devotional journey into the life of Joseph in Genesis 30 50, leading disciples through the autumn season of life, when the colors of God-given vision seem to have faded and died. But it can be especially in these times, Rubietta writes, that God sends new dreams: "We find our dream when we find ourselves well and deeply loved, forgiven, and called by God into a life of impact, a life that changes us for the good of others."
Rubietta leads us through ninety-one warm and substantial devotional readings, each deeply rooted in scriptural role models and each resolved with her trademark "Traveling Mercy" benediction, punctuated with a practical, brief "Note to Self."
"Finding Your Dream"is an invitation from God to come, gather perspective, and see again our own dreams through Joseph's eyes to find fresh application for our own souls and revived visions for our own journeys. "A free downloadable Group Leader's Guide is available at wphresources.com."
With the perception of a preacher, the compassion of a confidant, and the imagination of a novelist, Jane Rubietta leads us on the bumpy, but ultimately, blessed journey of Joseph's life. Her words spring off the page, as if we’re having coffee together, or maybe steamed milk with vanilla. Each devotion ends with a message from the Lord that will melt your defenses and move you to follow wherever He leads. Finally, a “Note to Self” encapsulates each chapter in a single sentence. Every morning, I look forward to reading the next installment in this inspiring devotional.
I really enjoyed these devotions that followed the life of Joseph. It's important not only to know the stories in the Bible but to also understand why they were important enough to be included across the centuries. Joesph was quite a character -- a spoiled boy who learned and grew through tough times and was able to forgive and help his people prosper. He learned to trust God as he grew inhis faith.
What a WONDERFUL journey! I have always related personally to Joseph's story, but these daily meditations over the past 90 days have "brought it home" to me in so many ways. Jane weaves together past, present and future; Bible characters, others and us; despair, reality and hope. And she does it with so few words and in such a powerful way that you don't realize you are being changed day by day.
