Yue Se's master heard his wife say to him, "Your servant did this to me. He became angry and put Yue Se in prison, where the king's prisoners were imprisoned.
So Yue Se sat in prison. But the LORD was with Yue Se, and was gracious to him, and found favor in the eyes of the jailer.
The warden delivered all the prisoners in the prison to Yue Se. Everything they did there was through his hands.
The jailer paid no attention to the work of Yue Se, because the LORD was with Yue Se. The Lord made everything he did smooth.
After that, the cupbearer and baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh was angry with the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, and put them in the prison of the captain's house, where Yue Se was imprisoned.
The captain of the guard handed them over to Yue Se, and Yue Se waited on them. They stayed in prison for a few days.
The cupbearer and baker of the king of Egypt, who was imprisoned in prison, had a dream that night and each had his own explanation.
In the morning, Yue Se came to them and found them very sad.
He asked Pharaoh's two officials, who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, and said, Why are you so sad today? They said to him, each of us had a dream, and no one could interpret it.
Yue Se said, "Doesn't dream interpretation come from God? Please tell me your dream. "
The chief cupbearer told Yue Se his dream, saying, "I dreamed that there was a vine in front of me, with three branches on it, which seemed to bud and blossom, and all the grapes on it were ripe.
Lao Wang's cup is in my hand, so I squeezed the grapes into Lao Wang's cup and handed it to him. "
Yue Se said to him: "Your dream is interpreted like this: three branches are three days; In three days, Pharaoh will take you out of prison and restore your official position. You should still put the cup in Pharaoh's hand, just as you used to be his cupbearer.
But when it is good for you, remember me, have pity on me, mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
I was kidnapped from Hebrew land. I didn't do anything to let them put me in prison. "
When the chef saw that the dream was well explained, he said to Yue Se, "I dreamed that there were three baskets of white cakes on my head; There are all kinds of food baked by Pharaoh in the basket on the top, and the birds come to eat the food in the basket on my head. "
Yue Se said: "Your dream is explained like this: three baskets are three days; In three days, Pharaoh will cut off your head and hang you on a tree, and birds will eat your flesh. 」
On the third day, it was Pharaoh's birthday. He held a banquet for all his servants, sent the wine administrator to prison and restored him to his post. He still handed the cup to Lao Wang.
But hang the chief baker, as Yue Se explained to them. But the cupbearer did not remember Yue Se, but forgot him.
Discourse illumination
From Yue Se, we see a man who walks with God, and God helps him wherever he goes.
A man who walks with God never complains, no matter what his situation is.
Wearing colorful clothes, I didn't even know that the colorful clothes were dyed into bloody clothes by my brother, or sold as slaves, dressed as slaves, or even framed and put on prison clothes in prison.
No matter what level, no matter what status, there is a grateful heart. Wherever he is, he can govern and manage his place and affairs with the help of God.
In dad's house, the enemy stopped his brother's criminal behavior, did not collude with them, and said goodbye to his brother.
In Potiphar's house, Potiphar manages all the housework, and Potiphar doesn't ask or check anything. Potiphar's wife tempted him to commit a crime, but he escaped.
The warden is in charge of all prisoners in the prison, but he doesn't check them. It also interprets dreams for wine administrators and chefs.
No matter when
No matter where you are.
No matter who you meet.
No matter what happens
At what point, according to what to go.
No complaints, no judgments, no mourning, no despair.
Be grateful for everything, trust everything, expect everything, and entrust everything.
No matter what the environment and events are, we should declare by faith that "it is good, beautiful and blessed when God is with us!"
