And he requested that he remember him when the Pharaoh removes him from the dungeon and puts him back in his position, but of course the cupbearer forgot....for 2 years. I wonder if Joseph was really counting on this light at the end of the tunnel. How disappointing that must have been for Joseph, but how quickly God works and turns a whole situation around in His timing. Joseph had to wait for a while to get out of that prison but all of a sudden one day he's out and made ruler over Egypt. Talk about a windfall! I enjoy stories about God working out all circumstances to be good.

Joseph's windfall
Today I read Genesis 40 & 41, story about Joseph and his interpretation of dreams for the cupbearer and baker. I thought it was neat that when they asked him to interpret their dreams he answered “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.” (very much like Daniel's responses when asked to interpret dreams).
And he requested that he remember him when the Pharaoh removes him from the dungeon and puts him back in his position, but of course the cupbearer forgot....for 2 years. I wonder if Joseph was really counting on this light at the end of the tunnel. How disappointing that must have been for Joseph, but how quickly God works and turns a whole situation around in His timing. Joseph had to wait for a while to get out of that prison but all of a sudden one day he's out and made ruler over Egypt. Talk about a windfall!
