TOPIC: Delayed, Not Forgotten
BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 40vs22 – And he restored the chief baker; as Joseph had interpreted to them. vs23 – Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.
41vs1-14 – and it came to pass at the end of two full years…… there was with a young man, an Hebrew and he interpreted to us our dreams…… Then pharaoh sent and called Joseph.
Joseph was a child of God diligent and favoured on the will of God. He was wrongly accused by Mrs. Potiphar and imprisoned with the chief butler of Pharaoh. Both men dreamt and were worried and sad because they lacked interpretation of their dreams. Now God used Joseph to reveal unto the both of them the interpretation thereof within five days it came to pass. But the butler forgot the good Joseph did for him while in the prison.
The goodnews here is that it was delayed and not forgotten because after 3 days God established the chief butler and it took 2 years for him to remember Joseph’s good deed. In this process of time God was working out the seat of a prime minister for Joseph and he attained it through patience and forgiveness. If Joseph was bitter towards the chief butler, he would have missed the seat of promise by misbehavior.
Has God promised to lift you or establish you and it seems like He has forgotten? NO He hasn’t, the word of God says to us all in Habakkuk 2vs3 – For the vision/promise is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie; though it tarry (delays), wait for it; it will surely come; it will not tarry.
Prayer: LORD, I wait on you for I know that you have not forgotten me, thank you Jesus for it shall no longer delay.
Insight: Wait in patience and trust God all the way.
