God's work is intriguing (2)

 

 

Although Joseph did not commit any sin,

God allowed him to be falsely accused by Potiphar's wife,

leading to his imprisonment (Gen. 39:1-20).

Then, 'after these things,' God caused Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker,

who had offended Pharaoh, to be imprisoned in the same jail

where Joseph was held (40:1-3).

Subsequently, God made these two officials have dreams

while they were in prison and enabled Joseph to interpret their dreams (vv. 5-13).

Eventually, through the cupbearer,

 Joseph's ability to interpret dreams was brought to Pharaoh's attention (41:9-13),

and ultimately, God interpreted Pharaoh's dreams through Joseph (vv. 25-36),

leading to Joseph's deliverance through Pharaoh.
