30 Little Things: The Book of GenesisExemplo

The Supernatural.

Supernatural means something that is just beyond what is logical, something beyond what is supposed to happen. So, if we see a car flying over our house, we can call that supernatural. If a baby jumps from the top of a sky scrapper and didn't die, we can also call that supernatural. Well, what about interpreting dreams? It is true that even until today, there are people who say they can interpret dreams, but Joseph was different. The 'dream interpreters' we see around us claim themselves to be supernatural, that the power to understand dreams and foretold the future were actually coming from their inner abilities. Joseph acknowledged God. He knew that he was able to interpret dreams not because he is intelligent and smart, but because God allows him to be. Joseph showed his humility before God in such a way that Pharaoh said in Genesis 41 no one was as intelligent or wise as him because God let him to be.

When we acknowledge that God is in control, supernatural things are bound to happen. When we realize that we are nothing and He is everything, our lives will be transformed and we will see miracles, simply because we now choose to see how great our God is and not how great we can be.
