—Genesis 41:9-13
by: Dorothy Noel.
The cupbearer finally remembered Joseph! Back in Genesis 40, Joseph had asked to be remembered when the cupbearer was released. But it took him a while. In that time, Joseph was still sitting in jail. Waiting. Serving prisoners. Alone. God had used Joseph to interpret multiple dreams at this point in his life, yet still he sat in prison without cause. Finally, the cupbearer shared Joseph’s story with someone who could change his situation. How often do we expect godly obedience to lead to immediate blessing from God? Are you willing to be obedient even without receiving any blessing?
