Genesis 40:1-23

After they had been in custody for some time, each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.

Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”

“This is what it means,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days. Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer. But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”

Now the third day was Pharaoh’s birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials: He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand— but he impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.

The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.

Why?

Joseph was in prison, but the Lord gave Joseph the opportunity to get out of prison by the cupbearer and the baker. There were different destinations, but there is an opportunity for Joseph may get out of prison. The time and opportunity is in the hands of the Lord.

How?

I won't worry or bear too much burden in my job or in my life. For I am a servant of the Lord, the timing is in the hands of the Lord, and the opportunity is in the hands of the Lord. What I should do is obey the command of the Lord told to us in the Bible and through the message in the church.
