The 40th chapter of Genesis The centers around Joseph’s three dreams, “Three dreams, even though most only count two, the butler’s and the baker’s.” The third is Joseph’s and it is how he handles the disappointment of not seeing this happen that interests me the most. One of the greatest qualities in the life of Joseph is in spite of all his circumstances his optimism never wavers. Joseph could well have adopted a pessimistic attitude that always waited for the other shoe to drop. God is always dealing with me on this issue of trusting Him in spite of my circumstances. Real optimism is:
•Aware of the problems but sees God as the solution.
•Knows about the difficulties but believes that in the Lord they will be overcome.
•Understands the negatives but choose to see the positives.
•Deals with the worst but expects the best.
•Has reasons to complain but has decided to have joy in the Lord.
