SPIRITUAL DIARY
My Worship Time Focus: The cupbearer remembers Joseph
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference: Genesis 41:9-13
Message of the verses: “9 ¶ Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I would make mention today of my own offenses. 10 "Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker. 11 "We had a dream on the same night, he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. 12 "Now a Hebrew youth was with us there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we related them to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according to his own dream. 13 "And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my office, but he hanged him.’”
God’s timings are always perfect, and in this case it was time for Joseph to be lifted to the throne. I am wondering if Joseph remembers his dreams that he had when he was seventeen years old at this time or if he wasn’t reminded of them latter. At any rate God was moving in Joseph’s life in what seems to be a good way, for the times of troubles are now over, the times of God’s preparation for Joseph to be elevated to the throne are complete. God’s timings are always perfect. It has been said that God created time, but man made watches.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: I don’t know if it is the correct thing to do, however I have been relating Joseph’s circumstances to what has been going on in my life over these past, almost, five years. What I can see out of this lesson today is that God’s timings are always perfect, and I am still learning things that He is teaching me, and two of the most important lessons are patience and contentment.
My Steps of Faith for Today: I want to continue to learn the things that God wants to teach me through this trial that I am going through, and to continue to be patience and learn more about being content.
