Day 14 :40-42
Main People:
Royal cup
bearer and baker, Joseph, Pharaoh, Joseph’s brothers
Key Points:
*Joseph (a
prisoner) was in charger of the cup bearer and baker. He’d found favor with the
head of the prison and was in charge of it. He must have just been a likable
person—and of course, God was with him.
*The baker and
cup bearers had dreams. Unfortunately, the baker’s wasn’t a great one. Sure
enough, 3 days later, he was impaled. Wonder what he did to deserve that?
*Two years
later, the cup bearer finally remembered Joseph and told the Pharaoh about how
he could interpret dreams. Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and he made him a
ruler in Egypt
*Jacob told
the brothers that Benjamin was all he had left. Pretty harsh words, daddy.
Verses that Jumped Out at Me:
40:7—Joseph was
concerned about other’s needs
41:6—Didn’t
give himself credit. Gave it to God.
41:33-36—Be Prepared
41:38— Pharaoh
knew Joseph was filled with Spirit of God by his actions—can people, even
non-believers, tell we are Christians by looking at our actions?
41:46—Joseph had
been an Egyptian slave/prisoner for 13 years! Patience… we need patience.
Question:
What was
Joseph’s Egyptian name?
