Genesis 40 – A long wait

Joseph interprets a dream and asks that the chief cupbearer remember him when he is released from prison. But the chief cupbearer forgets Joseph and Joseph is forced to remain in prison for two more years.

People fail. I fail, you fail, we all fail. If we put our hope in people, we will eventually be disappointed. Our hope is in God who moves in the right time and in the right way. We need to maintain our trust in God, even when life does not seem to be working out as were expecting.

Sometimes God wants us to stay in jail for two more years so that he raise us up to be something great. Trust in God, even if you never find out what God’s reasons were.
