A Great Deliverance- Dream Again: Genesis 40.1-8

“We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” So Joseph said to them, “Do not

interpretations belong to God?Genesis 4.8

An Update

· Joseph was falsely accused and imprisoned

· He was elevated in the prison

Starting Over-

Joseph must have felt as though he was starting over once more.

· He started over when his brothers sold him.

· He started over as a slave in Egypt.

· Now he was starting over in prison.

But there were lessons that he learned…

1. Don’t give up, no matter what.

2. Always be faithful to God.

3. Have faith that God will deliver you.

4. Know that God’s timing is not our timing.

5. Be willing to help others find God.

6. Always be loving and gracious.

7. Know that the dream God gave you will happen.

All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8.28

I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29.11

Take Away Prayer

Lord God,

Stay with me when I am discouraged;

Help me when I am hopeless;

Fill me with faith when I am lonely.

Make me your child and full of love for your children.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
