Hey, you're listening to A Year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

I'm Shelby and I'm here with Scott and today we're in Genesis 40 through 42.

So we have been following Joseph's story.

When we left off yesterday, Joseph was in prison and that's where we pick up today. So what's going on with

Joseph in prison, Scott? I mentioned yesterday, just his shifting fortunes, or it seems like

things are turning up for him, only to get, you know, come back down and, you know, in prison.

So, yeah, we left off in prison. The Lord is with him in prison. He's actually been given a lot

of responsibilities.

And these chapters though, it's funny, you get the cut bearer.

And you see this moment where Joseph sees an opportunity

with the cut bearer being restored to get out of prison.

He says, hey, mention me to Pharaoh, I remember me.

And there's just this mental lapse that this guy has that leads to another two years

in prison for Joseph.

And this is another moment in the Bible that makes me laugh.

Because in Genesis 41, verse 9, after Pharaoh starts having these weird dreams, we read

that the cup bearer remembers.

And again, what was his reaction?

Like, oh my gosh, I just remembered something.

Oh, this poor guy, he's gonna be so mad at me.

But so Joseph's fortunes again changed.

This time for good.
