What if your part is key in their dream becoming reality

Without question God is the One, who facilitates the giving and realizing of dreams; but it's interesting how He fancies the worth of people helping others' dreams become reality. Joseph's time in prison was a time where he was given free rein to lead fellow prisoners as they did their prison time.  In prison, Joseph tapped God's wisdom to reveal the restoration of Pharoah's cup-bearer to his former prominence in Pharoah's presence. However, though the cupbearer was restored to his former glee; Joseph was left alone and estranged in prison for a good while, for the cup-bearer never made mention of Joseph's role in his restoration. Only after some time would Joseph too see his dreams take wing. There's a lesson here we each need to heed. In this world there is at least one person whose dream cannot become a reality without your help. Though God is God, one of his heart delights is using people to facilitate His great purpose in others' lives. As Joseph was key in revealing the eventual restoration of Pharoah's cup-bearer; He would prove key to the rescue of Egypt at large in the famine which followed. Joseph couldn't have been the blessing he was to Egypt as a nation though were the cup-bearer he helped unwilling to help him. There's a wonderful cycle of dream-reality, which we can either facilitate or impede by our willingness or unwillingness to help others in our power to influence. What you do today can make or break someone's reality. God help us be in God's place for us, where we can help more of those around us find their dreams become reality.
