When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected. So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
“We both had dreams,” they answered, “but there is no one to interpret them.”
Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
Great significance was given o dream in Egypt at this time. Professional interpreters had manuals that listed dreams and their meanings. But Pharaoh's wine steward the butler of some versions and his baker had no one to turn to, 'Interpretation belongs to God,' says Joseph - and God makes the meaning clear.
Why?
Time is in hands of the Lord, so the chief cupbearer forgot Joseph told him.
Joseph was honest in his job so he caring the emotion of these two men.
Interpretation of dream is the right of God, for Joseph knew the Lord, so he may pray to the Lord helped him to make it.
When we helped someone in some situation, we hope they could help us at the right time. But most people when they got the benefit they always forgot their friends or their accompany.
God will help us in his time.
Depend on man is unreliable, only the Lord could be trusted. Chief cupbearer forgot Joseph.

解夢不是出於神嗎？
司獄一概不查，看似被囚，其實自由。
約瑟如此後受器重，卻沒有做老大，謙卑盡本份。，服侍其他被囚的人。
整個事件的時間點都配合的剛剛好。約瑟成為管理都明白這兩位膳長關進來。看似完全不相干的人，出現，都是和神要賜福的人有關。人只要盡我們的本份。
境遇愈來愈難，盡力盡本份，不容易。不是看我的日子如何，而是我的力量如何，我的日子也如何。
約瑟等了兩年希望落空，我們是否問神，神啊！你為什麼不在夢中提醒酒政，為約瑟申冤。
神沒有要他這個時候出去，還有更好的時候，更好的結局。同樣神也要我們繼續等候，我們常常要次好的，我們應該在困難中藉神賜能力，不是求神立即將我們帶出脫離苦難。耐心等候的必要歡呼。一 宿雖有哭泣，早晨必歡呼喜樂。

How?
God has the power to interpretation so trust our way is in the Lord. And caring for our friends around us.
