Watch below and observe –
that no matter where we are, no matter the situation, God is in control.
key verses:
- Genesis 40:8: And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.”
- Isaiah 41:10: “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

God knows everything: Joseph was able to interpret the dreams because there is nothing that God doesn’t know.
There are going to be times in life when we don’t know how to do something or how to get through a tricky situation. When we don’t know what to do, God always does. God has promised to give us wisdom when we ask for it.
God is all powerful: No matter where Joseph went in his life, palace or prison, God worked his plan through him. There is nothing in life that can stop God or thwart his plans.
Sometimes our lives don’t go according to our plans. No matter what happens, there is never going to be something so bad or so far off course that God can’t work with or correct. There is nothing in life that can stop God or thwart His plans.
God is sovereign: God had already decided that it was through Joseph that he would save his people from the coming famine. Thus, Joseph’s story, while it may not have always made sense to Joseph, was always working together toward God’s good plan (Romans 8:28).
When God created us, He had a plan for our lives. He gave us gifts to help us successfully accomplish His plan for our lives. Life may sometimes look messy, but God knows what we’re going through, and He knows how to make everything right.
From the prison to the palace, God is in control.
Here’s a Simple Prayer to Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the blessings You have given us to help us be successful in the mission You have planned for our lives. Help us to use these blessings to help others and to bring You glory.
We ask these things in Jesus’ name, Amen.
