JOSEPH INTERPRETS TWO DREAMS

Date : Jul 11, 2025
Passage : Genesis 40:1~23
Keyverse : 8

Joseph was in the king's prison, which was under Potiphar's jurisdiction. He was a faithful steward in prison, too. And God was with him, so he was put in charge of the prison. Two prisoners, who were very close to the king, were entrusted to his care. One was the king's cupbearer and the other, the king's baker. Joseph paid close attention to them; one morning, he noticed that something was bothering them. He found that each man had had a disturbing dream. What did they mean? Joseph entrusted the dreams of the two prisoners to God. He testified to the Lord’s sovereign rule there.

God was speaking to these men through their dreams, but they could not understand what he was saying. Joseph was God's servant. He listened to their dreams and uncompromisingly interpreted each dream. Even though the baker's dream was bad news, Joseph was honest; he did not spare the details. Joseph asked the cupbearer to remember him before Pharaoh once he was released. But the cupbearer forgot all about Joseph when he was released. Joseph would wait.
Application: Lord, all things, including dreams, belong to you. Help me to serve others. Use me to testify to you in all things.
One Word: Use all things to proclaim God’s glory
