Day 13 - Imprisonment & Appointment

Daily Reading:  Genesis 40-42

"So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon..." Genesis 41:14

Can you believe the cupbearer didn't remember Joseph?!

Joseph was a slave and in prison for 13 years!

Footnote:

Our most important opportunities may come when we least expect them. Joseph was brought hastily from the dungeon and pushed before Pharaoh. Did he have time to prepare? Yes and no. He had no warning that he would be suddenly pulled from prison and questioned by the king. Yet Joseph was ready for almost anything because of his right relationship with God. It was not Joseph's knowledge of dreams that helped him interpret their meaning. It was his knowledge of God. Be ready for opportunities by getting to know more about God. Then you will be ready to call on him when opportunities come your way.
