Interestingly bears of different species range from being predominantly carnivorous to predominantly herbivorous and others somewhere in between. They are generally speaking solitary animals, only coming together to mate and mothers caring for their young. Their most fascinating trate for me however is that some spend up to 100 days in hibernation. I can well identify with that desire in the cold winter months.
It is precisely this amazing ability to store up fat that helps the bears survive the long winter hibernation that makes me think of Joseph. He too was a solitary man, sold into slavery who God led in a dream to store up food for 7 years in preparation for the 7 years of drought that were to come.
In doing so, Joseph not only saved his family, but many more we're blessed by his great forethought and wisdom.
This year, let's be proactive Christian's, not thinking only of ourselves but of others that God wishes to save and bless through us. Plan BIG, dream BIG, have BOLD faith, believe God for BIG blessings and prepare your heart to be a BIG blessing to other's!
God certainly did that for us! For He gave us His only begotten Son, so that we should not perish, but have everlasting life! I guarantee you, that if God gave to us so extravagantly, He desires to see us do that too!
GO BIG! GO FOR GOD! GO 2025!
