00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:29.980
 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:59.980
 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:12.579
 We're going to read all of chapter 40 this morning. I'm going to pray and then we'll hear what God has to say to us. So let's read God's word, starting at verse 1.

00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:26.539
 Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt.

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:41.880
 Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard in the same prison where Joseph was confined.

00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:47.819
 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph and he served them.

00:01:47.819 --> 00:02:01.759
 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.

00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.500
 And each dream had a meaning of its own.

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.120
 When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected.

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:21.259
 So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were in custody with him in his master's house, why do you look so sad today?

00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:28.340
 We both had dreams, they answered, but there is no one to interpret them.

00:02:29.399 --> 00:02:35.060
 Then Joseph said to them, do not interpretations belong to God?

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.500
 Tell me your dreams.

00:02:38.399 --> 00:02:41.739
 So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream.

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:49.099
 He said to him, in my dream I saw a vine in front of me and on the vine were three branches.

00:02:49.099 --> 00:02:55.280
 As soon as it budded, it blossomed and its clusters ripened into grapes.

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:04.939
 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup and put the cup in his hand.

00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.240
 This is what it means, Joseph said to him.

00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:12.599
 The three branches are three days.

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:19.060
 Within three days, Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position.

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:26.599
 And you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.

00:03:27.579 --> 00:03:33.539
 But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness.

00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.120
 Mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.

00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.719
 I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews.

00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:48.080
 And even here, I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:56.240
 When the chief baker saw that Joseph had been given a favorable interpretation,

00:03:56.980 --> 00:04:00.159
 he said to Joseph, I too had a dream.

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:03.759
 And on my head were three baskets of bread.

00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.139
 In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh,

00:04:08.399 --> 00:04:12.179
 but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.

00:04:13.459 --> 00:04:16.480
 This is what it means, Joseph said.

00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:20.539
 The three baskets are three days.

00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.779
 Within three days, Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale your body on a pole.

00:04:28.539 --> 00:04:31.120
 And the birds will eat away your flesh.

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.819
 Now, the third day was Pharaoh's birthday.

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.519
 And he gave a feast for all his officials.

00:04:40.980 --> 00:04:46.759
 He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials.

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.639
 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position,

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.240
 so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.180
 But he impaled the chief baker,

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.639
 just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.

00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.360
 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph.

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:11.379
 He forgot him.

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.120
 Well, let's pray together.

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:24.100
 Father, thank you for your word.

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:28.660
 Thank you for this true account of the life of Joseph.

00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:35.680
 We ask for your spirit's help to have understanding with our minds,

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.699
 but that it would also be driven deep into our hearts.

00:05:42.019 --> 00:05:45.340
 And it would change us and affect us in such a way

00:05:45.340 --> 00:05:52.500
 that it affects our week in what we do and how we live.

00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:58.620
 We pray that what we hear today will be good for us

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:01.199
 and will help us.

00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:05.860
 Thank you that you are present here now

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:08.500
 through your word to us today.

00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:10.480
 Amen.

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:18.720
 Well, not much has changed in the last 10 years of Joseph's life.

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.939
 At 17, he was thrown into a pit of a well by his brothers

00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:26.240
 and sold off as a slave.

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:32.740
 Now 27, Joseph is thrown into the pit of a dungeon by his master

00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:35.759
 and is working as a slave.

00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:38.400
 Nothing new to report.

00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.599
 Just the same old struggle and suffering.

00:06:43.719 --> 00:06:47.099
 In fact, by the time we get to the end of chapter 40,

00:06:47.659 --> 00:06:48.319
 guess what?

00:06:49.539 --> 00:06:52.259
 Joseph is still in the pit of a dungeon

00:06:52.259 --> 00:06:55.599
 and he's still doing slave stuff.

00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:02.979
 One wonders if God has moved on and left Joseph behind.

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:08.060
 You see, life can be like that for God's people, can't it?

00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.479
 We long for a change in our circumstances,

00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:15.060
 but the problem is nothing ever seems to change.

00:07:15.859 --> 00:07:18.620
 We cry out to God for a better life,

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:22.179
 but life, it seems, gets no better.

00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.039
 There's trouble at work

00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:27.259
 and weeks later,

00:07:27.719 --> 00:07:30.159
 the same trouble is there.

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.980
 Or maybe you develop an illness

00:07:32.980 --> 00:07:34.780
 and months down the line,

00:07:34.900 --> 00:07:36.140
 there's no improvement,

00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:37.960
 there's no relief.

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.020
 Or you're struggling with a relationship

00:07:42.020 --> 00:07:43.280
 that's broken down

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:44.960
 and years later,

00:07:45.880 --> 00:07:47.680
 it's still not right.

00:07:48.940 --> 00:07:50.780
 Nothing new to report,

00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:53.260
 just the same old struggle

00:07:53.260 --> 00:07:54.640
 and suffering.

00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:59.879
 One wonders if God has lost interest in me.

00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.120
 Maybe he's forgotten me altogether.

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.979
 Well, God has not forgotten his people

00:08:07.979 --> 00:08:11.360
 and God has not forgotten Joseph.

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:16.479
 You see, in the unchanging struggles of life,

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.920
 God is consistently unchanging towards us.

00:08:23.460 --> 00:08:26.660
 In our unchanging sufferings of life,

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:31.560
 God is consistently unchanging towards us.

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.720
 We're going to look at three main things

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.680
 from our text this morning

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:40.080
 that are going to encourage us,

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.100
 comfort us,

00:08:42.100 --> 00:08:44.100
 and assure us

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:47.180
 in this time of struggle.

00:08:48.180 --> 00:08:49.280
 So first,

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:52.259
 we want to be encouraged

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:55.860
 by God's sovereign design.

00:08:56.040 --> 00:08:58.540
 Encouraged by God's sovereign design.

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:00.379
 Joseph is in prison

00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:02.940
 and he's soon to have some new friends.

00:09:03.400 --> 00:09:04.280
 Look at verse 1.

00:09:04.420 --> 00:09:06.400
 Sometime later, the cupbearer,

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.940
 so he was the winemaker

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:10.380
 or the wine buyer

00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:11.740
 and the baker,

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.320
 he's the pastry chef

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.460
 of the king of Egypt,

00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:16.760
 offended their master,

00:09:16.900 --> 00:09:17.920
 the king of Egypt.

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:21.880
 So something must have ticked Pharaoh off.

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:25.020
 Maybe he didn't like the choice of wine

00:09:25.020 --> 00:09:27.140
 with the steak he was having that evening

00:09:27.140 --> 00:09:29.400
 or perhaps he found the croissants

00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:30.820
 just a little too flaky.

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:32.340
 Whatever it was,

00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:33.500
 he's got annoyed.

00:09:33.640 --> 00:09:35.400
 That's what powerful people do.

00:09:35.780 --> 00:09:36.900
 They throw a wobbly

00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:38.639
 and he throws the baker

00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:39.799
 and the cupbearer

00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.120
 into prison

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.799
 where Joseph was.

00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:47.360
 Now the problem for Joseph is

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.360
 they're not quite on an equal friendship.

00:09:50.659 --> 00:09:52.539
 They're still the king's attendants.

00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.939
 They still hold a special status.

00:09:55.379 --> 00:09:56.319
 So, verse 4,

00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.120
 the captain of the guard

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.679
 assigned them to Joseph

00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.220
 where he served them.

00:10:02.220 --> 00:10:06.360
 Well, you can't get much lower than that,

00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:06.940
 can you?

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.519
 Joseph's not only in prison,

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:11.680
 but he's at the bottom of the pile

00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:13.560
 where he's serving the other prisoners.

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.180
 What is God doing?

00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:20.100
 What is God up to?

00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:21.720
 Has he forgotten Joseph?

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:24.620
 Well, not so.

00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:27.399
 God is working.

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:29.340
 In fact,

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:31.080
 we have here

00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.720
 a spoiler alert.

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:34.200
 You see,

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:35.360
 the cupbearer

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.779
 is going to have a big part

00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:38.399
 to play

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.799
 in Joseph's life.

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:40.720
 In fact,

00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.620
 he's going to be the person

00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:44.060
 that God uses

00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:45.560
 to get Joseph

00:10:45.560 --> 00:10:46.700
 out of prison

00:10:46.700 --> 00:10:48.899
 and into a position of power

00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:49.940
 to serve

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:50.980
 alongside

00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:52.100
 Pharaoh.

00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:54.820
 Read on in the story

00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:56.379
 and you will find out.

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:57.620
 But we're getting

00:10:57.620 --> 00:10:58.980
 a bit ahead of ourselves.

00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:00.200
 At this point,

00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:01.800
 we just need to know

00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:03.820
 that God is working

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:05.519
 and he's working out

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:06.220
 his purposes

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:07.420
 even though

00:11:07.420 --> 00:11:08.920
 we don't know

00:11:08.920 --> 00:11:11.019
 and we can't always see

00:11:11.019 --> 00:11:13.720
 what God is doing.

00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:16.519
 Which means

00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.320
 we just get on

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:20.440
 serving.

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:22.620
 You see,

00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:23.240
 our role

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.120
 is not to try

00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:24.940
 and figure out

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:26.220
 what God is doing.

00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:28.040
 His ways

00:11:28.040 --> 00:11:29.139
 are not our ways.

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:29.879
 His thoughts

00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:30.899
 are not our thoughts.

00:11:31.300 --> 00:11:31.519
 No,

00:11:31.580 --> 00:11:32.879
 we simply trust

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.639
 that God is sovereign

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:36.759
 and we keep on serving.

00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.279
 And that's exactly

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:39.580
 what Joseph did.

00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:40.879
 Look at verse 6.

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:42.820
 When Joseph came

00:11:42.820 --> 00:11:44.440
 to the other prisoners

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:45.420
 the next morning,

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:47.220
 he saw

00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:49.120
 that they were dejected.

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.139
 they were down

00:11:51.139 --> 00:11:52.019
 as they were eating

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:52.899
 their breakfast.

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:54.320
 Now,

00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:55.519
 if I were Joseph

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.560
 and I were at the bottom

00:11:57.560 --> 00:11:58.279
 of the pile,

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.460
 I might feel

00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:01.179
 a little bit

00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:01.879
 delighted

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.200
 in their trouble.

00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:04.560
 I mean,

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.519
 there's nothing better

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:06.659
 than seeing those

00:12:06.659 --> 00:12:07.820
 who are above you

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:09.560
 suffer and struggle,

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:10.159
 isn't there?

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:12.060
 But not Joseph.

00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:14.000
 He sees an opportunity

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.180
 to serve.

00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:16.460
 Verse 7.

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:17.920
 So he asked

00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:18.920
 Pharaoh's officials

00:12:18.920 --> 00:12:20.040
 who were in custody

00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:21.080
 with him

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.360
 in his master's house,

00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:24.519
 why do you look

00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.800
 so sad today?

00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:27.700
 I mean,

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:29.300
 it's not a big thing.

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:31.860
 Just a sympathetic

00:12:31.860 --> 00:12:33.220
 observation.

00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:34.800
 They're glum.

00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:37.080
 They're not the same

00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.240
 jovial selves.

00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:39.879
 Something's not right.

00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:42.660
 Why are you so sad?

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.280
 And sure enough,

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.779
 it led to some

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:48.079
 God talk.

00:12:48.459 --> 00:12:49.079
 Verse 8.

00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:50.019
 Oh,

00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:51.399
 we both had dreams,

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:52.120
 they answered,

00:12:52.259 --> 00:12:54.039
 but there is no one

00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:55.259
 to interpret them.

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.480
 Then Joseph said to them,

00:12:59.059 --> 00:12:59.819
 well,

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:00.679
 I know someone,

00:13:00.819 --> 00:13:01.299
 don't I?

00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.179
 Do not interpretations

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:05.980
 belong to God?

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:08.939
 Tell me your dreams.

00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:12.259
 Joseph does the one thing

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:13.080
 he can do

00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.679
 to help lift the burden.

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.919
 He points them to God

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.439
 who sees all things

00:13:19.439 --> 00:13:21.139
 and knows all things.

00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:22.879
 In his suffering,

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.019
 he sees the suffering

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:26.299
 of those around them

00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:28.299
 and he points them to God

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:31.340
 who is sovereign over all.

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:33.379
 You see,

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:35.179
 God has not lost interest

00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:36.419
 in you or me.

00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.759
 He's not forgotten us.

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.939
 God has a design

00:13:40.939 --> 00:13:42.319
 for your struggles

00:13:42.319 --> 00:13:43.179
 in life.

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:45.100
 Our sufferings

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:46.399
 might not be the path

00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:47.519
 we would choose.

00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:48.899
 Our troubles

00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:49.559
 mightn't be

00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:50.939
 what we would plan.

00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.159
 But God knows

00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.340
 and God has a sovereign design

00:13:55.340 --> 00:13:57.139
 for every circumstance

00:13:57.139 --> 00:13:58.159
 of your life.

00:13:59.000 --> 00:13:59.819
 In other words,

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.439
 God is in control

00:14:01.439 --> 00:14:02.919
 of your day to day.

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.699
 in what you face

00:14:05.699 --> 00:14:06.779
 when you go to work

00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:07.740
 tomorrow morning.

00:14:08.659 --> 00:14:09.860
 The news

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:10.959
 that you might receive

00:14:10.959 --> 00:14:12.379
 in the doctor's surgery.

00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:15.000
 The relationship

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.559
 that you're struggling with.

00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:18.939
 God is sovereign

00:14:18.939 --> 00:14:21.179
 over every single detail

00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:23.360
 and it's in moments like that

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.959
 we don't need to panic.

00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:27.740
 In fact,

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:29.699
 we get on serving.

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:31.700
 Our suffering

00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:33.500
 that we face

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:35.800
 with God's help

00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:38.040
 can make us sensitive

00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:39.820
 to the needs

00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:40.560
 and the suffering

00:14:40.560 --> 00:14:41.840
 of those around us.

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:43.740
 Just as we run to God

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.560
 in our struggle

00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:46.320
 so we can point others

00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:47.140
 to our God

00:14:47.140 --> 00:14:48.540
 who sees all things

00:14:48.540 --> 00:14:50.660
 and knows all things.

00:14:52.920 --> 00:14:54.540
 So when we struggle,

00:14:55.660 --> 00:14:57.320
 don't look down.

00:14:58.280 --> 00:14:59.020
 Look up.

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:01.120
 You might see

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:02.560
 someone who is sad

00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:03.660
 and someone

00:15:03.660 --> 00:15:05.020
 who needs help.

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:07.320
 You see,

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.640
 in the unchanging

00:15:08.640 --> 00:15:10.000
 struggles of life,

00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:11.960
 God is consistently

00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.300
 unchanging

00:15:13.300 --> 00:15:14.460
 towards us.

00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:16.280
 In your suffering,

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.620
 be encouraged

00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:20.220
 by God's

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:21.480
 sovereign design

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.460
 for your life.

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:26.900
 So first,

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:27.680
 be encouraged.

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.279
 second,

00:15:28.819 --> 00:15:31.139
 we can be comforted.

00:15:32.599 --> 00:15:33.299
 Comforted

00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:34.339
 by God's

00:15:34.339 --> 00:15:35.239
 steadfast

00:15:35.239 --> 00:15:36.299
 love.

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.059
 So the cupbearer

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:40.359
 and the baker

00:15:40.359 --> 00:15:42.539
 tell their dreams

00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:43.339
 to Joseph.

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:44.799
 They take it in turns.

00:15:45.459 --> 00:15:46.079
 And God,

00:15:46.319 --> 00:15:47.059
 through Joseph,

00:15:47.239 --> 00:15:48.599
 gives the interpretation.

00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:50.019
 The cupbearer

00:15:50.019 --> 00:15:50.819
 dreams means

00:15:50.819 --> 00:15:51.740
 he's going to be

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:52.299
 restored

00:15:52.299 --> 00:15:53.279
 to being

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.799
 chief cupbearer.

00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.839
 the baker's dream

00:15:56.839 --> 00:15:58.120
 means he will be,

00:15:58.899 --> 00:15:59.620
 well,

00:16:00.459 --> 00:16:01.740
 it's brown bread

00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:02.359
 for him,

00:16:02.459 --> 00:16:02.939
 isn't it?

00:16:03.579 --> 00:16:04.639
 We'll come back

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:05.620
 to that shortly.

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:06.419
 Now,

00:16:06.479 --> 00:16:07.339
 while the dreams

00:16:07.339 --> 00:16:08.719
 are very important,

00:16:09.359 --> 00:16:11.159
 it's Joseph's response

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.599
 that should get

00:16:12.599 --> 00:16:13.379
 our attention.

00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.219
 With the cupbearer

00:16:15.219 --> 00:16:16.059
 looking forward

00:16:16.059 --> 00:16:17.319
 to his restoration,

00:16:18.179 --> 00:16:19.240
 Joseph sees

00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:20.359
 an opportunity.

00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:22.060
 verse 14.

00:16:24.060 --> 00:16:25.039
 He says

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:25.720
 to the chief

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.519
 cupbearer,

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:28.039
 when all goes

00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:29.000
 well with you,

00:16:30.019 --> 00:16:31.100
 remember me

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:32.860
 and show me

00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:33.560
 kindness.

00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:35.279
 Mention me

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:36.080
 to Pharaoh

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.419
 and get me

00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.379
 out of this

00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:39.060
 prison.

00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:41.879
 Now,

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.700
 I don't blame

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:43.159
 Joseph,

00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:43.779
 do you?

00:16:44.740 --> 00:16:46.080
 I don't think

00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:46.960
 there's much

00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.960
 wrong in asking

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.180
 those with influence.

00:16:49.179 --> 00:16:50.279
 it's okay

00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:51.079
 to be asking

00:16:51.079 --> 00:16:52.000
 others for help

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.559
 when we're in

00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:53.459
 a tight spot.

00:16:53.719 --> 00:16:54.500
 Who wouldn't

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:55.099
 ask?

00:16:56.819 --> 00:16:57.979
 But it's not

00:16:57.979 --> 00:16:59.299
 that he asked,

00:17:00.199 --> 00:17:01.259
 but what

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:02.059
 he's asking

00:17:02.059 --> 00:17:02.759
 for.

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:05.159
 Because Joseph

00:17:05.159 --> 00:17:06.039
 was to learn

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:07.619
 that God

00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:08.339
 is sufficient

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:10.039
 in his

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.759
 struggle.

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.119
 look at

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.839
 Joseph's

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.920
 request again

00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:15.960
 in verse 14.

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.940
 When all

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:19.660
 goes well

00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:20.319
 with you,

00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:21.740
 remember

00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:22.319
 me

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.980
 and show

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:24.579
 me

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:25.879
 kindness.

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:27.660
 Now,

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.119
 that word

00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:28.640
 kindness

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.359
 means

00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.440
 covenant

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:31.299
 love.

00:17:32.339 --> 00:17:32.980
 It's a

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:34.059
 steadfast

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:34.819
 love.

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:35.960
 It's a

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:36.619
 faithful

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.140
 love.

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:37.940
 It's the

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:38.320
 same

00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:38.720
 word

00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:39.360
 that God

00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:39.759
 used

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.220
 to show

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:40.940
 his love

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:41.540
 to Joseph

00:17:41.540 --> 00:17:42.380
 just

00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:43.040
 previously.

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:43.640
 Just look

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:44.080
 back to

00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:45.259
 chapter 39

00:17:45.259 --> 00:17:48.140
 at the

00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:48.520
 end of

00:17:48.520 --> 00:17:49.400
 verse 20.

00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:56.340
 Chapter

00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:57.000
 39,

00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:57.780
 the middle

00:17:57.780 --> 00:17:58.120
 of verse

00:17:58.120 --> 00:17:58.520
 20.

00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:59.080
 But while

00:17:59.080 --> 00:17:59.920
 Joseph was

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:00.580
 there in

00:18:00.580 --> 00:18:01.080
 the prison,

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:01.640
 the Lord

00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:02.240
 was with

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:02.540
 him.

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:03.460
 He

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:03.880
 showed

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:04.120
 him

00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:04.960
 kindness

00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.180
 and

00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:06.600
 granted

00:18:06.600 --> 00:18:06.880
 him

00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:07.360
 favour

00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:07.759
 in the

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.100
 eyes

00:18:08.100 --> 00:18:08.259
 of

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:08.440
 the

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:08.799
 prison

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:09.400
 warder.

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:10.779
 God

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.340
 showed

00:18:11.340 --> 00:18:12.079
 Joseph

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.240
 kindness.

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:14.779
 God

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:15.340
 remained

00:18:15.340 --> 00:18:16.200
 loyal,

00:18:16.660 --> 00:18:17.059
 committed,

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.440
 faithful to

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:19.100
 Joseph in

00:18:19.100 --> 00:18:19.660
 all his

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.519
 trials and

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:20.940
 troubles.

00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:22.160
 That's what

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:22.740
 covenant

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:24.279
 love does.

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.240
 It doesn't

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.900
 give up,

00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:26.960
 let out,

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.100
 run out,

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.100
 or burn

00:18:29.100 --> 00:18:29.360
 out.

00:18:29.620 --> 00:18:30.279
 It's a

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:31.600
 steadfast

00:18:31.600 --> 00:18:32.400
 love.

00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:34.480
 You see,

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.099
 God's

00:18:35.099 --> 00:18:36.599
 love is

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.099
 enough.

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:38.779
 God's

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:40.120
 love is

00:18:40.120 --> 00:18:40.680
 sufficient,

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:42.440
 which means

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.220
 we can

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:45.240
 keep on

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.339
 trusting.

00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:49.079
 I think

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.759
 Joseph was

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.460
 beginning to

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:52.120
 wonder if

00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:52.680
 God had

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.099
 forgotten

00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:53.460
 him.

00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:54.819
 Maybe

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:55.779
 God doesn't

00:18:55.779 --> 00:18:56.360
 love me.

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:58.240
 But we

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.559
 got to

00:18:58.559 --> 00:18:59.299
 remember that

00:18:59.299 --> 00:18:59.860
 God had

00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:00.319
 made a

00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:00.660
 covenant

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.460
 promise to

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:02.140
 Joseph and

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:02.799
 his family,

00:19:03.299 --> 00:19:03.700
 and here

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:04.240
 in chapter

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:04.819
 40,

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:06.000
 Joseph is

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.900
 asking another

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:07.680
 prisoner for

00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:08.400
 the same

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:09.000
 loyal

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:09.759
 commitment.

00:19:11.340 --> 00:19:12.500
 Remember me

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:13.559
 and show me

00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:14.240
 kindness.

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:16.840
 But why

00:19:16.840 --> 00:19:18.000
 ask others

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.039
 to promise

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:20.740
 what only

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:21.900
 God can

00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:22.299
 promise?

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.460
 Why would

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:25.160
 you put your

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.860
 trust and

00:19:25.860 --> 00:19:26.519
 your hope in

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.600
 people who

00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:28.600
 can't deliver

00:19:28.600 --> 00:19:29.200
 on their

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:29.580
 promise?

00:19:29.579 --> 00:19:29.819
 promise?

00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:31.679
 This was a

00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:32.439
 lesson Joseph

00:19:32.439 --> 00:19:33.079
 would soon

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.419
 learn.

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:34.240
 Despite

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:34.919
 whatever

00:19:34.919 --> 00:19:36.079
 commitments the

00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:36.720
 cupbearer

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:37.899
 made, look

00:19:37.899 --> 00:19:38.279
 at verse

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.099
 23, back

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:40.559
 in chapter

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:41.460
 40, verse

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:42.119
 23.

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:45.279
 The chief

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:46.059
 cupbearer,

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.679
 however, did

00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:49.159
 not remember

00:19:49.159 --> 00:19:49.619
 Joseph.

00:19:50.699 --> 00:19:51.439
 He forgot

00:19:51.439 --> 00:19:51.740
 him.

00:19:53.179 --> 00:19:53.559
 You see,

00:19:53.659 --> 00:19:54.579
 there is only

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:55.419
 one we can

00:19:55.419 --> 00:19:56.000
 ultimately

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.879
 trust.

00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:57.060
 trust.

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.400
 Look, when

00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.400
 we're going

00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:00.020
 through our

00:20:00.020 --> 00:20:00.600
 ongoing

00:20:00.600 --> 00:20:01.920
 struggles, we

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.760
 can turn to

00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:03.300
 the good of

00:20:03.300 --> 00:20:04.040
 others or to

00:20:04.040 --> 00:20:04.880
 the power of

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:05.160
 others.

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:06.120
 We can get

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:06.960
 help from one

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.560
 another, which

00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:08.040
 is a good

00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:08.440
 thing.

00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:09.280
 There's nothing

00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:09.920
 wrong with

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:10.200
 that.

00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:11.140
 But let's

00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:12.060
 not put all

00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:12.880
 our hope and

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.640
 trust in

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.560
 people.

00:20:15.860 --> 00:20:17.040
 Why trust the

00:20:17.040 --> 00:20:18.300
 steadfast failure

00:20:18.300 --> 00:20:19.740
 of people when

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:20.360
 we have the

00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:21.580
 comfort of God's

00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:22.880
 steadfast love?

00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.880
 God's covenant

00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:27.020
 love, his

00:20:27.020 --> 00:20:28.400
 kindness remains

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:29.900
 no matter what

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:30.620
 our suffering

00:20:30.620 --> 00:20:31.800
 is, as the

00:20:31.800 --> 00:20:32.360
 writer of

00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:33.200
 Lamentations

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.240
 reminds us,

00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:36.220
 because of the

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:37.320
 Lord's great

00:20:37.320 --> 00:20:40.540
 kindness, or

00:20:40.540 --> 00:20:41.440
 the Lord's

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:42.860
 steadfast love,

00:20:43.580 --> 00:20:44.820
 we are not

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:46.800
 consumed, for

00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:47.980
 his compassions

00:20:47.980 --> 00:20:49.860
 never fail.

00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:51.699
 They are new

00:20:51.699 --> 00:20:53.539
 every morning.

00:20:54.619 --> 00:20:56.419
 Great is your

00:20:56.419 --> 00:20:57.399
 faithfulness.

00:20:58.679 --> 00:20:59.899
 You see, in the

00:20:59.899 --> 00:21:01.079
 unchanging

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.259
 struggles of

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:04.039
 life, God is

00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:05.139
 consistently

00:21:05.139 --> 00:21:06.779
 unchanging

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:08.039
 towards us.

00:21:09.139 --> 00:21:10.000
 So in your

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.000
 suffering today,

00:21:11.099 --> 00:21:12.000
 in your struggle

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.319
 today, be

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:15.399
 comforted by

00:21:15.399 --> 00:21:16.639
 God's steadfast

00:21:16.639 --> 00:21:17.199
 love.

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.080
 Third,

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:22.220
 encouraged,

00:21:22.580 --> 00:21:23.259
 comforted,

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:25.220
 and assured

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:26.420
 by God's

00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:26.940
 saving

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:28.000
 promise.

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:30.000
 Let's get

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:30.720
 back to the

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:31.380
 dreamers.

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.860
 The dreamers

00:21:33.860 --> 00:21:34.640
 were told,

00:21:35.059 --> 00:21:35.759
 or the dreams

00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:36.420
 were told,

00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:37.039
 and the

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.319
 dreams were

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:39.140
 interpreted.

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:40.160
 For the

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.000
 cupbearer,

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:42.000
 the

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.660
 interpretation

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:44.140
 was favourable,

00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:44.660
 wasn't it?

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:45.600
 Verse 13.

00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.919
 Within three

00:21:47.919 --> 00:21:49.079
 days, this is

00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:49.959
 the interpretation,

00:21:50.639 --> 00:21:51.199
 Pharaoh will

00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:52.079
 lift up your

00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:53.299
 head and

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:54.419
 restore you to

00:21:54.419 --> 00:21:55.159
 your position,

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:56.559
 and you will

00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.659
 put Pharaoh's

00:21:58.659 --> 00:21:59.199
 cup in his

00:21:59.199 --> 00:22:00.599
 hand, just as

00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:01.439
 you used to do

00:22:01.439 --> 00:22:02.179
 when you were

00:22:02.179 --> 00:22:03.339
 his cupbearer.

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:05.079
 All is well.

00:22:06.379 --> 00:22:06.939
 But for the

00:22:06.939 --> 00:22:07.639
 baker, the

00:22:07.639 --> 00:22:08.899
 interpretation was

00:22:08.899 --> 00:22:10.500
 less favourable.

00:22:10.639 --> 00:22:11.980
 Verse 19.

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:15.299
 Within three

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:17.140
 days, Pharaoh

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:18.339
 will lift off

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:19.319
 your head

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:20.940
 and impale

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:21.759
 your body on

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:22.339
 a pole and

00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:23.019
 the birds will

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:23.620
 eat away

00:22:23.620 --> 00:22:25.059
 your flesh.

00:22:26.059 --> 00:22:26.819
 For one,

00:22:26.940 --> 00:22:27.579
 his head will

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:28.759
 be lifted up,

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.360
 for the

00:22:30.360 --> 00:22:30.960
 other, his

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.960
 head will be

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.259
 lifted off.

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:35.299
 Now, the

00:22:35.299 --> 00:22:36.279
 question is,

00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.799
 will the

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:38.559
 interpretation

00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:39.599
 of these

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:40.380
 dreams

00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:41.940
 be fulfilled?

00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:44.160
 Remember what

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:44.800
 Joseph had

00:22:44.800 --> 00:22:45.600
 said back in

00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:46.120
 verse 8.

00:22:46.620 --> 00:22:47.140
 Do not

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:48.140
 interpretations

00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:48.980
 belong to

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:49.300
 God.

00:22:49.620 --> 00:22:50.820
 So can what

00:22:50.820 --> 00:22:51.880
 God said

00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:52.960
 be trusted?

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.100
 well, yes,

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:57.779
 God is

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:58.860
 always true

00:22:58.860 --> 00:23:00.319
 to his

00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:00.759
 word.

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:02.660
 Let's see

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:03.480
 how this gets

00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:04.120
 worked out.

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:04.880
 Verse 20.

00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:05.620
 Let's read.

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:06.779
 Now, the

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:07.660
 third day

00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:08.579
 was Pharaoh's

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:09.259
 birthday and

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:09.880
 he gave a

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.779
 feast for all

00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:11.579
 his officials.

00:23:12.340 --> 00:23:13.420
 He lifted up

00:23:13.420 --> 00:23:14.059
 the heads of

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:14.480
 the chief

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.259
 cupbearer and

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:15.660
 the chief

00:23:15.660 --> 00:23:16.200
 baker in

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.720
 the presence

00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.140
 of his

00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:17.559
 officials.

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:18.460
 He

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:20.059
 restored the

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:21.120
 chief cupbearer

00:23:21.120 --> 00:23:21.539
 to his

00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:22.079
 position.

00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:23.599
 so that he

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:24.259
 once again

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:24.699
 put the

00:23:24.699 --> 00:23:25.159
 cup into

00:23:25.159 --> 00:23:25.619
 Pharaoh's

00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:25.980
 hand.

00:23:27.139 --> 00:23:28.059
 But he

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:29.199
 impaled the

00:23:29.199 --> 00:23:29.980
 chief baker

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:31.720
 just as

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.539
 Joseph had

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:33.059
 said to

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:34.379
 them in

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:34.639
 his

00:23:34.639 --> 00:23:35.500
 interpretation.

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.439
 You see,

00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:38.740
 the interpretation

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:40.179
 given by

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:41.019
 God through

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:42.519
 Joseph came

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:43.259
 to pass.

00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:44.799
 What God

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.480
 said would

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.000
 happen did

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.539
 happen.

00:23:48.679 --> 00:23:49.179
 God's

00:23:49.179 --> 00:23:49.899
 word is

00:23:49.899 --> 00:23:50.799
 faithfully

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.359
 fulfilled.

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:52.179
 You see,

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:52.959
 when God

00:23:52.959 --> 00:23:53.740
 speaks,

00:23:54.399 --> 00:23:55.419
 God acts.

00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:56.779
 What he

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:57.899
 says always

00:23:57.899 --> 00:23:58.839
 comes to

00:23:58.839 --> 00:23:59.399
 pass.

00:24:01.219 --> 00:24:01.799
 Now, what

00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:02.199
 are we to

00:24:02.199 --> 00:24:02.679
 take from

00:24:02.679 --> 00:24:03.159
 this?

00:24:04.159 --> 00:24:04.939
 Well, there's

00:24:04.939 --> 00:24:05.500
 a big

00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:07.099
 capital A

00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:07.939
 assurance

00:24:07.939 --> 00:24:08.979
 for

00:24:08.979 --> 00:24:09.399
 Joseph.

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:11.059
 You see,

00:24:11.139 --> 00:24:11.679
 these two

00:24:11.679 --> 00:24:13.399
 dreams are

00:24:13.399 --> 00:24:14.139
 a reminder

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:15.519
 of the

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.519
 two dreams

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:17.279
 that Joseph

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:17.979
 had had

00:24:17.979 --> 00:24:19.039
 ten years

00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:19.619
 before.

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.099
 Can you

00:24:21.099 --> 00:24:21.460
 remember

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:21.740
 them?

00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:22.099
 Have a

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:22.519
 look back

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:22.899
 with me

00:24:22.899 --> 00:24:23.119
 to

00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:23.460
 chapter

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:24.279
 37.

00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:30.159
 Back in

00:24:30.159 --> 00:24:31.220
 chapter 37,

00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:31.819
 he was a

00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:32.980
 17-year-old

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:37.899
 and he

00:24:37.899 --> 00:24:38.279
 has a

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.740
 dream.

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.960
 Verse 6,

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:46.519
 Joseph said

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:47.000
 to them,

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:47.460
 that is

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:48.360
 his eleven

00:24:48.360 --> 00:24:48.900
 brothers,

00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:50.600
 listen to

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:51.160
 this dream

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:51.779
 I had.

00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:53.100
 We were

00:24:53.100 --> 00:24:53.600
 binding

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:54.360
 sheaves of

00:24:54.360 --> 00:24:54.980
 corn out

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.279
 in the

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:55.900
 field when

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:56.940
 suddenly my

00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:58.539
 sheaf rose

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:59.120
 and stood

00:24:59.120 --> 00:24:59.620
 upright,

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:01.400
 while all

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:02.400
 your sheaves

00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:03.180
 gathered round

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:04.680
 mine and

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:05.400
 bowed down

00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:06.100
 to it.

00:25:06.099 --> 00:25:08.359
 a place

00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:09.059
 of position

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:09.899
 of authority

00:25:09.899 --> 00:25:10.599
 to which

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:11.099
 others are

00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:11.579
 bowing.

00:25:12.419 --> 00:25:13.199
 Verse 9,

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:14.240
 then he had

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:14.939
 another dream

00:25:14.939 --> 00:25:15.559
 and he told

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.379
 this to his

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:16.779
 brothers,

00:25:17.199 --> 00:25:17.899
 listen he

00:25:17.899 --> 00:25:18.199
 said,

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:18.599
 I had

00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:18.939
 another

00:25:18.939 --> 00:25:19.899
 dream and

00:25:19.899 --> 00:25:20.480
 this time

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:21.019
 the sun

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:21.559
 and moon,

00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:22.480
 probably

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.179
 speaking of

00:25:23.179 --> 00:25:23.899
 his mother

00:25:23.899 --> 00:25:24.599
 and father

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.980
 and eleven

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:27.639
 stars of

00:25:27.639 --> 00:25:28.219
 his eleven

00:25:28.219 --> 00:25:29.740
 brothers were

00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:30.759
 bowing down

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:31.299
 to me.

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.519
 Let's go

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:34.019
 back to

00:25:34.019 --> 00:25:34.939
 chapter 40.

00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:37.119
 You see

00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:37.659
 God had

00:25:37.659 --> 00:25:38.099
 spoken

00:25:38.099 --> 00:25:38.959
 through these

00:25:38.959 --> 00:25:40.219
 dreams to

00:25:40.219 --> 00:25:41.859
 Joseph to

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:42.480
 tell him

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:42.879
 that he

00:25:42.879 --> 00:25:43.579
 would rise

00:25:43.579 --> 00:25:43.980
 to a

00:25:43.980 --> 00:25:44.639
 position of

00:25:44.639 --> 00:25:45.240
 power and

00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:46.579
 authority where

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:47.339
 his brothers

00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:48.079
 would bow

00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:48.679
 down to

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:49.319
 him and

00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:50.099
 serve him.

00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:51.919
 Well would

00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:52.759
 God's word

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:53.399
 stand?

00:25:53.879 --> 00:25:54.539
 Can God

00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:55.439
 be trusted?

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:56.859
 Well ten

00:25:56.859 --> 00:25:57.859
 years later

00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:59.639
 nobody's

00:25:59.639 --> 00:26:00.299
 bowing down

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:00.879
 to Joseph,

00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:01.500
 he's stuck

00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:02.119
 in a prison.

00:26:03.379 --> 00:26:04.099
 Seems

00:26:04.099 --> 00:26:04.799
 the promised

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.719
 word has

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.160
 failed.

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.339
 But not

00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:08.819
 so.

00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:10.120
 God has

00:26:10.120 --> 00:26:10.620
 given a

00:26:10.620 --> 00:26:11.519
 capital A

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:12.120
 assurance.

00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:13.000
 You see

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.579
 God is

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:14.160
 saying to

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.600
 Joseph,

00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:15.720
 just as

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.400
 the dreams

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:16.819
 of the

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.559
 cupbearer

00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:17.860
 and the

00:26:17.860 --> 00:26:18.180
 baker

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:19.059
 were fulfilled,

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:20.380
 so will

00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:21.259
 my promise

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:22.000
 to you

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.220
 be fulfilled.

00:26:24.059 --> 00:26:24.759
 You can

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:25.960
 trust God's

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.380
 word.

00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:27.980
 God always

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:29.100
 does what

00:26:29.100 --> 00:26:29.799
 he says

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.420
 he will

00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:30.960
 do.

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:32.880
 Which means

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:33.500
 for Joseph

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:34.119
 and for

00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:34.559
 us.

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:36.799
 We keep

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:37.220
 on

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:38.259
 believing.

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.220
 You see

00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:40.900
 Joseph had

00:26:40.900 --> 00:26:41.319
 been given

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:41.960
 a promise.

00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:42.799
 A promise

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:43.660
 that, well

00:26:43.660 --> 00:26:44.460
 I expect

00:26:44.460 --> 00:26:45.339
 he had

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:45.960
 hoped would

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.319
 have been

00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:47.240
 fulfilled a

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:48.099
 long time

00:26:48.099 --> 00:26:48.539
 ago.

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:50.599
 But our

00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:51.380
 timing is

00:26:51.380 --> 00:26:52.099
 not always

00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:52.700
 God's

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:53.059
 timing.

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.480
 Joseph

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.039
 would have

00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:55.720
 to wait

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.299
 until God

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:58.200
 fulfilled his

00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:59.039
 promise to

00:26:59.039 --> 00:26:59.359
 him.

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.880
 How long

00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:01.319
 was that

00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:01.819
 going to

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:02.079
 be?

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:04.220
 Well

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.599
 Joseph

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:05.019
 isn't

00:27:05.019 --> 00:27:05.379
 told,

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:05.740
 is he?

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.119
 He's not

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.700
 given any

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:07.339
 days or

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:07.919
 number of

00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:08.399
 how long

00:27:08.399 --> 00:27:08.799
 he'll have

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.259
 to wait.

00:27:09.639 --> 00:27:10.059
 But he

00:27:10.059 --> 00:27:10.759
 does get

00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:11.460
 assurance

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:12.519
 that God's

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:13.139
 word can

00:27:13.139 --> 00:27:13.899
 be trusted.

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:16.059
 God's

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:16.539
 saving

00:27:16.539 --> 00:27:17.439
 promise to

00:27:17.439 --> 00:27:17.839
 Joseph

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:18.879
 will be

00:27:18.879 --> 00:27:19.579
 fulfilled.

00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:21.439
 And Joseph

00:27:21.439 --> 00:27:22.279
 must learn

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:23.019
 to trust

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:23.659
 God's

00:27:23.659 --> 00:27:24.099
 timing,

00:27:24.579 --> 00:27:25.379
 to go on

00:27:25.379 --> 00:27:25.839
 believing

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.439
 God's

00:27:26.439 --> 00:27:26.939
 word that

00:27:26.939 --> 00:27:27.619
 it will

00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:28.980
 come to

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:29.559
 pass.

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.519
 you see

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:33.859
 like

00:27:33.859 --> 00:27:34.279
 Joseph

00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:36.460
 we can

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:36.839
 find

00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:37.359
 ourselves

00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:37.839
 in a

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.220
 season

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:38.460
 of

00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:38.919
 suffering

00:27:38.919 --> 00:27:40.259
 where

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:40.480
 we

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:40.899
 long

00:27:40.899 --> 00:27:41.179
 for

00:27:41.179 --> 00:27:41.539
 things

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:41.759
 to

00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:42.200
 change

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:42.359
 and

00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:42.519
 we

00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:42.879
 hope

00:27:42.879 --> 00:27:43.119
 for

00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:43.440
 better

00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:43.940
 days

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:44.599
 but

00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:45.200
 nothing

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:45.679
 ever

00:27:45.679 --> 00:27:46.119
 seems

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:46.419
 to

00:27:46.419 --> 00:27:46.919
 give.

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:48.980
 Ten

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.460
 years

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:49.759
 can

00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.259
 pass

00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:50.720
 and

00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:50.919
 we're

00:27:50.919 --> 00:27:51.319
 still

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:51.519
 in

00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:51.720
 that

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:52.179
 same

00:27:52.179 --> 00:27:52.500
 old

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:53.019
 struggle

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.619
 and

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:53.919
 one

00:27:53.919 --> 00:27:54.500
 wonders

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:55.079
 has

00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:55.440
 God

00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:56.000
 forgotten

00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:56.359
 me?

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:57.779
 Has

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:58.220
 God

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:58.980
 moved

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.360
 on

00:27:59.360 --> 00:27:59.559
 and

00:27:59.559 --> 00:27:59.799
 just

00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:00.299
 left

00:28:00.299 --> 00:28:00.559
 me

00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:00.799
 in

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:01.059
 this

00:28:01.059 --> 00:28:01.700
 mess?

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:04.720
 Well

00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:04.960
 we

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.240
 too

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:05.420
 have

00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:05.620
 been

00:28:05.620 --> 00:28:05.920
 given

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.180
 the

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.680
 assured

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.079
 word

00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:07.279
 of

00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:07.720
 God's

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.039
 saving

00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:08.660
 promise.

00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:09.980
 You

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:10.200
 see

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:10.400
 the

00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:10.920
 promise

00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:11.339
 given

00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:11.640
 to

00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:12.279
 Joseph

00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:13.599
 would

00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:13.920
 only

00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:14.420
 serve

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:14.799
 of a

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.079
 much

00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:15.640
 greater

00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:16.140
 promise

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:16.400
 that

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:16.599
 was

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:16.799
 to

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.099
 come

00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:17.640
 the

00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:18.099
 promise

00:28:18.099 --> 00:28:18.299
 of

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:18.500
 the

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:18.880
 Savior

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:19.380
 Jesus

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:19.960
 Christ.

00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:20.460
 You

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:20.700
 see

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:20.920
 at

00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:21.360
 just

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:21.900
 the

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.279
 right

00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:22.779
 time

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:24.400
 in

00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:25.259
 God's

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.920
 time

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.319
 according

00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:27.660
 to

00:28:27.660 --> 00:28:28.160
 God's

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:28.580
 great

00:28:28.580 --> 00:28:29.180
 sovereign

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:29.920
 design

00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:30.740
 God

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.200
 sent

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:31.440
 his

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:31.720
 son

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.300
 Jesus

00:28:32.300 --> 00:28:33.140
 into

00:28:33.140 --> 00:28:33.360
 the

00:28:33.360 --> 00:28:33.759
 world.

00:28:34.300 --> 00:28:34.540
 Jesus

00:28:34.540 --> 00:28:35.080
 entered

00:28:35.080 --> 00:28:35.380
 into

00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:35.600
 the

00:28:35.600 --> 00:28:36.140
 dark

00:28:36.140 --> 00:28:36.740
 dungeon

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:37.040
 of

00:28:37.040 --> 00:28:37.279
 this

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:37.740
 world

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.400
 to

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:38.779
 lift

00:28:38.779 --> 00:28:39.140
 us

00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:39.580
 up.

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:41.740
 Jesus

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.060
 has

00:28:42.060 --> 00:28:42.519
 come

00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:43.100
 so

00:28:43.100 --> 00:28:43.300
 that

00:28:43.300 --> 00:28:43.540
 we

00:28:43.540 --> 00:28:43.880
 might

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:44.800
 experience

00:28:44.800 --> 00:28:45.180
 his

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:45.920
 steadfast

00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:46.380
 love

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:46.920
 in

00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:47.420
 all

00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:47.580
 of

00:28:47.580 --> 00:28:47.800
 our

00:28:47.800 --> 00:28:48.259
 suffering.

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.240
 This

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.440
 is

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:51.000
 God's

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.480
 saving

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:52.000
 promise

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.320
 to

00:28:52.320 --> 00:28:52.860
