GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR YOUR GIFT!
OCTOBER 12
Genesis 40:5-19
GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR YOUR GIFT!
While in prison, Joseph came into contact with formerly important people who had fallen out of Pharaoh’s favour. Two of these were the Pharaoh’s butler and baker. The butler is a cupbearer of the king and his duties include serving food and drinks to the Pharaoh and his guests. The baker was the man who prepared food for Pharaoh.
These two prisoners had dreams which troubled them. They sought an interpretation, but they were unsuccessful until Joseph appeared on the scene. God had given Joseph the gift of interpreting dreams and he was able to tell the butler that he would be restored to his former position and be free again. Confident of the interpretation, Joseph, who was falsely accused, requested the butler to put a kind word in the Pharaoh’s ear so that he might be freed.
When the baker heard that the interpretation of the butler’s dream was good, he too made known his dream to Joseph. However, to his dismay, his dream meant the opposite. Joseph told him that within three days, Pharaoh shall have him hung on a tree. Sadly for him, it came true. Three days later, when it was Pharaoh’s birthday, he restored the chief butler but sentenced the chief baker to death.
Joseph had the marvelous gift of being able to interpret dreams. In those days, God sometimes spoke to the people in dreams. Nowadays we have the Bible and God speaks to us through the Bible. Joseph gave glory to God for this gift for he told them that "interpretations belong to God." He never gave the impression that he had any power.
Thanks be to God for talents, for every good and every perfect gift comes from Him. Whatever your gift is, remember to be grateful to the divine Giver.
Name one thing you can give glory to God for:

Thought: Without God, I can do nothing.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to be thankful for every good gift You have given me. Thank You most of all for Your love. And heavenly Father, teach me to use every gift for Your glory so that others may praise You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
