Meeting is not a coincidence.

Even though Joseph didn’t sin, he was imprisoned under a false accusation (Gen. 39:19-23).

And in the jail Joseph met the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt (40:1-4).

Was it coincidence that those who had sinned and Joseph who didn’t sin met in the jail?  

Never.

It was God’s sovereign will that God led them to meet at that place and at that time.

The purpose was that God made Joseph to interpret their dreams (vv. 12-15),

the chief cupbearer was restored (v. 21) and he introduced Joseph to the king of Egypt who has two dreams,

so that eventually God delivered Joseph out of the jail,

made him to interpret the Egyptian king’s dreams

and then raised him to be in charge of the whole land of Egypt (ch. 41).

Our meeting may take place in a situation that is not as good as we see it.

But even in such a bad situation,

God can make us to meet good people even though we don’t want it or even expect it.

God can give us good encounters even in bad situations

In order to accomplish His will of salvation.
