S – Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
Genesis 40:23 CSB
O – Commentary:
chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph’s request in v. 14 is forgotten, and he remains in prison. Yet the earlier mention of God’s favor with Joseph hints that something good is looming on the horizon, despite the bleak outlook (39:2).
A – When we face difficult situations, God has not forgotten us. Even so, the next verse in chapter 41 starts with “At the end of two years.” That seems like a long time for someone to keep their faith in God when they are still in prison. Our trust that God’s timing is perfect and purposes for our good will sustain us in even the most difficult segments of the journey.
R – Heavenly Father, the one true God. We worship and surrender to you alone. Meet us where our faith is today in our relationship with you. We want to know you more and trust you implicitly. Give us strength and wisdom to follow you today.
