Today we are reading Genesis 41. In this chapter we read about Joseph interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams. “Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today. When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation. A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream. And as he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.” Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”” Genesis 41:9-16 ESV I like how Joseph does not take credit for interpreting dreams. This is the truth about all who possess God-given gifts. We must give all glory to God. Isn’t it wonderful to be lovingly gifted?! The best part is when you flow in the gifts He has given you. You can see how His design blesses those around you. Enjoy God’s gifts today as you use them to bless others! Pastor Tim
