This Sunday we will gather to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and look intently into His Word together! In Genesis 40, Joseph has been unjustly imprisoned in Egypt. God displays His providential care of Joseph as he is elevated to a trusted position with the prison guard to monitor Pharaoh's prisoners. However, Joseph's situation is still one of a slave and a convicted criminal. On the surface, it is hard to see how anything good will come out of this. However, a turning point is reached when Pharaoh's chief cupbearer and baker are imprisoned with Joseph. One night, both of these men dream similar dreams about their future and discuss them with Joseph. Through God's imparted wisdom, Joseph interprets these dreams for them. He explains that the cupbearer will be restored to his position in three days, while the baker will be executed. Both interpretations are fulfilled exactly as Joseph said, demonstrating that God is with Joseph and that He is the source of wisdom and revelation. Although Joseph asks the restored cupbearer to remember him before Pharaoh, the cupbearer forgets him, leaving Joseph to continue waiting on God's timing and trusting in His faithful providence.
As you look forward to worshipping with the body of Christ on Sunday, take time to read the Scriptures intentionally ahead of time. Ask God to prepare your heart to receive His Word as well as give you the grace to walk in obedience to it as it is proclaimed.
