Gen 54: Chapter 41
Book of Genesis #54
Another two years went by.
2 x 365 days, 730 days.
Have you waited that long?
Did you persevere in prayer?
Did you hope and trust in the Lord?
Pharaoh had a dream and no one could interpret it because no one has the key to the future.
God gave Joseph wisdom and understanding an upright heart and a pure intention. He told Pharaoh the meaning of the dream and he gave him good counsel. There was no guile, no dissimulation, no personal ambition, and no desire for vainglory in Joseph.
Prison had purified him and had brought him closer to God -- even though God never spoke to him directly.
In so many ways, Joseph is like anyone of us.
So often we seek the extraordinary to get us out of the ordinary.
Joseph thought the extraordinary in the ordinary -- and he was found.
