Perfect…the
very thing that Joseph credited to God (the interpretation of
dreams) is the same thing that ultimately got him out of jail. God’s
perfect design.
Granted, the
cupbearer finally remembered Joseph. But this was only because the
cupbearer remembered Joseph’s Divine gift. So, the cupbearer tells the Pharaoh
and the Pharaoh calls for Joseph. He said “I have
heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it“. Once
again Joseph replies “I cannot do it…but God will give Pharaoh the
answer he desires“.
God has
bestowed gifts on all of us…for his glory and pleasure. As we look at our past
we may wonder what happened to some of them. Maybe God gifted us to
successfully pray for the physical healing of others…but we haven’t done
it in a long time. Maybe He gifted us to pastor large congregations and
we haven’t seen one in ages. Maybe he gifted us to teach the Body of Christ and
opportunities just don’t seem to be available.
I
wonder if there’s a connection between our willingness to clearly give God
credit and God’s willingness to give us opportunities. It seems that way with Joseph…
Live
boldly out there today…
