Key Verse

“And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;” Genesis 40:9

Text — Genesis 40: 5-14

Message

God works in mysterious ways. The butler thought his dream was just about him. But God was in His divine wisdom, preparing the way to get Joseph out of prison. The dream was to link Joseph to Pharaoh. Even Joseph did not know that this dream was in preparation for his glory and the subsequent fulfillment of God’s covenant with Abraham, His friend. Joseph’s and the butler’s ignorance did not stop God’ purpose. Joseph thought the butler, on his own, would be the one to help him. The butler forgot him because it was not in his power to help. How often do we go crying and asking help from people who may never help us until the Lord will eventually send help to us. The butler remembered Joseph immediately it was time for God’s plan and purpose to be fulfilled. We can never be forgotten when it is time for God to bless us. The butler’s and Pharaoh’s dreams were given to fulfill the dreams God gave to Joseph. Joseph’s dreams were God’s path to fulfilling His promise to Abraham and for bringing Jesus, our Saviour, into the world for our salvation. The ways of God are past finding out. (Romans 11:33).

God is really in control. He is working, unknown to you, for your good and progress. Choose to remain righteous and faithful like Joseph and God will bless you.
