Genesis 37:11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

When Joseph started having dreams about what would happen in the future, the reaction from his brothers was one of rejection and hatred.

The initial reaction from his father was to rebuke Joseph for saying such things; but he did know God could do anything and so kept those dreams in mind.

We often rebuke others for saying things which we do not like, but if they are coming from God, we need to listen and bury them in our hearts.

It would be better to listen and think about things rather than rejecting them without thought – God does move in mysterious ways!
