Joseph\u2019s experience in Egypt took many twists and turns. One moment he was trusted by Potiphar, one of the king\u2019s officials, and the next moment he was imprisoned because of false accusations from Potiphar\u2019s wife (Genesis 39).<\/p>\n
In prison Joseph found favor with the warden. But would there ever be a way out?<\/p>\n
One day Joseph met the king\u2019s cupbearer and baker, who were sent to prison for making the king angry, and one night both of those men had strange dreams. The next day, the cupbearer and the baker were confused and burdened by their dreams, and Joseph asked why they looked so sad. When they shared their dreams with him, Joseph was able to help, explaining that \u201cinterpretations belong to God.\u201d Joseph the dreamer was now wiser, recognizing that God was always helping him (Genesis 39:23).<\/p>\n
Both good news and bad news were in those dreams. Soon the cupbearer was restored to Pharaoh\u2019s court, just as Joseph had said in his interpretation, and Joseph likely wondered what would happen next. But the cupbearer forgot about Joseph\u2014 for quite a while.<\/p>\n
In that prison, however, God was still watching over Joseph and providing for him. As we often find in our own and others\u2019 lives, there is always more to the story that God is working out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
